Yes great effort with the engine and I'm picking up tips of my build
- for instance doing the subframe whilst it's out
- I hadn't thought of that.
Engine looks great though not long now until she's road worthy again?

With subframe remember to mount anti roll bar correct way up as have to lower subgame again to change it if put wrong way up.
Good time to polybush bar too.


Miss fire was two new dead plugs

After 2 weeks if trying to bleed clutch turns out previous owner had removed new looking master cylinder gutted the inside then re bolted to car.


So some more advice, don't trust nothing lol.

I also took advantage during re fitting of subframe and fitted new rear ball joints and droplinks to keep Mr MOT man quiet when he gets it lol.

Not me lol I paint by numbers this is a mate doing it all.


He says they will need hours of work to fit and cause of the twist will probably crack paint in time and look xxxx.


Has advise bin them and put better quality ones on later.


I would say price and location of my mate but then he will get swapped with mr2 sill repairs lol
