I will be redrilling and tapping the head on for the exhaust manifold. Dont want to use an adapter plate for the inlet side, easy enough to weld a zetec flange on the rover inlet manifold and the get it skimmed flat again to remove any distortion caused from the heat when welding. This way it looks like it was meant to be.cheers anywayz

Good to see this still moving on mate, after the time waiting for it to get painted, I thought it had all gound to a halt

....good to see it hasnt

Same as Stuy, at least its moving forward

Another 4 months and you would have had a Years Fee Parking lol.

This is the rs turbo throttle body which I have to make a plate up for which will then get welded onto the end of the rover plenum where I choped it off.

Just got these for £50 of ebay, have a full set of slotmags now being 13"x7" front and 14"x7" rear should look okay.

should look sweet.

whats next on the list to get?

the car back from the body shop lol.

has the car bin fully sprayed now

dont no we r on hoilday!!! was suppose to be done firday but its takinh the piss now grrrrr

Hope he gives you a good discount the amount of time he has taken.

I wont be taking mine there when the kit goes on nextyear not the amount of time yours has been there matey.

Hope its worth the wait though looking forward to seing it on the road.

Well heres is some more pics with the new wheels on the front, turned the tyres on the rims so the white bfgoodrich writing is on the outside as shown. Also look how bad the camber is on the rear lol. Crappy leafsprings

oh yeah also still isnt painted lol. He said he thought I was away for two weeks meaning I get it this weekend( I doubt it very much lol). He has sprayed all the inside now a cream colour which I asked for to go with the leather retrim.

Which bodyshop is it in again? I think the lack of service is absolutely absurd! He should be doing for free now if he hopes to come away from this with any sort of reputation...

I know he takes ages but he does an amazing job which I have yet to see from others. You would have had to seen the quality of the job on my punto to know what I mean. but yeah he does take ages. Need to drop the front suspension on some spax coilovers now

looking good mate cant wait to see it finished or just sprayed
