Right got my 3 door cossie grille and should have a new bonnet for the car by tommorow.
Will be finishing off the shells tommorow so i hope fingers and toes crossed that its running this time.
Still need to sort out the brakes as they are well soft anybody know a good company that can find the problem for me???
Want to take it the rolling road to see what power its running as i think its down on power (didnt feel that quick when i brought it up from London)
Will need to sort out the down pipe before i take it but it will give me a good figure of what the power is before i go putting silly engines in it (if i ever get a good 24v cossie engine)

Been playing with the car a little today put the new front grill on. OLD ONE NEW ONE OFF A RS5OO Looks a hell of alot better i think needs alittle bit of work but that will be done when it goes for a respray. But for now i am trying to get it running proper. Having problems trying to do the shells though (cos i am thick) so Jay is coming down later to see what i am doing wrong and point me in the right direction so hopfully fingers crossed it could be running this sat.

Worked on my toy again to day and had a mixed day really. Got the crank to turn so set about checking the shells to make sure they had no marks on them and stuff and guess what THEY HAVE THIS IS A NEW SHELL SHOULDNT HAVE ANY MARKING'S ON IT AS THE ENGINE HASNT EVEN RUN WITH THEM IN THE DAMAGE HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CRANK HAS BEEN TURNED WITH A SOCKET. 1st one i took out had bits on it looked like small bits of metal and the top of the shell has a groove in it that is deep enough to put your nail in. So i have desided to get another 2.8 engine for now as i want the car up and running (the 24v engine will be done late nextyear as planed). But before i could go asking a mate has got me one of sombody he knows fully rebuilt and ready to go in so i WILL have the 4i up and running by the time the rolling road comes about.

Done a little bit of work on the car today YES I STILL HAVE IT FORGET MYSELF FROM TIME TO TIME. Got these a while back and had them in my mates trackcar. Put them in but need to mod the frames alittle so they sit right. Also took a different pic of the bonnet so you can see just how big the bulge is love it me looks great and a £1 off ebay.
