I thought it was about time I put together a build thread.
I bought the car from the US about 4 years ago. Long story short bad buy.'

As it was when I bought it.

I have set a mock up engine in place, I am running a tall deck RHS block, but I don't have it here yet, so I needed to simulate it by raising the heads of the one I have.

I have been working on the headers and exhaust the last couple of weeks. I have used a header design set by icengineworks, that works great.
