when i got it back to my garage i wasnt happy with the way the sport pack copy arches fitter so i brought a set of genuine ones of ebay, also i brought a set of 7 x 13 minilights a set of bucket seats and a sabelt harness, also got some paint mixed up (subaru blue) and painted inside my boot and engine bay and inside of my bonnet.wheals need bit of a referb as theres a little bit of kerbing damage on some of them so my dads mate wil be putting them on the lathe for me and carefully taking a slight bit of material of each rim until damage has gone then have them repolished and have the centres painted black.

carried on with the engine today, still havnt got the flywheel and clutch of but i did manage to strip the head.
took the valves out cleaned them up onn a wire wheel, the head appears to have been ported already so iv just got to match it to my carb manifold give it a quick polish and then take it down and get it skimmed.
