    Looks spankin Sean. really like that. My only gripe would be with some of the overspray you got on the wiring etc.

    fantastic job though. New pistons aswell?

    looking very very nice,

    think you should maybe do the wheels slightly darker, not anthracite- rover storm grey maybe will look good.

    engine looks good too

    not even thought about the wheels yet, would have kept standard cav turbo rims, but the 330mm disks dont fit under them! DOH
