Ive done all the work myself, except for the top coat. :ph34r: I didnt take the engine out by myself, I got help off my boyfriend and stepdad with that, but its hard to take an engine out by yourself! :D

Hehe, shes absolutely filthy :P Shes not been washed for ages and she covered in dust and mucky finger prints :gimme:

I got my list yesterday of stuff I need! :P No idea how much its going to cost me though, I need to ring Min-its and get them to price it up and see if they have everything in stock, then I can go get all the stuff!

My engine and block needs to be sent off to be machined which is going to delay the engine being built back up a bit. I reckon its still going to be a month or so until its been rebuilt as the guys doing it in his spare time. She'll be back on the road just intime for the gritting! :kiss:
