We have done smal bits and pieces but unfortunately we are now nearly booked up untill April next year so getting time between now and then is going to be difficult.

 

[John@ECC]

Got a small but more done in the past few weeks but we have just taken on a job thats going to last about 4 months so i dont think there will be a huge lot done in the next while but we will try our best

Finishing off the exhaust

Starting to make the removal front which is basically going to hold everything together.

 

[John@ECC]

Starting to make the front engine mount with solid mount

Starting to make the supports for the front of the car.

Adrian does all our engine builds, mapping, machining, fabrication, problem solving etc. I would of hoped about April next year but we have just taken on 2 big jobs in the past month that are going to take to May next year to complete and we have priced one for Russia and Iran so depending on them it could be another year. We will work as much as we can at nights and weekends as possible to keep it coming alog.

this thread is filled with so much win.

 

[John@ECC]

The hard block has arrived and we will start to get the block filled tonight.

Had to make the water feed hole to the head larger.

A plate that we made quickly as its only being used to stop the concrete coming out when the blocks being filled and wont be used again.
