Well I have further good news on this one....

George is coming over monday to change the belts so it will be a step closer to fitting the engine!

It is costing ?160 to replace the parts (belts/tensioners/water pump) so the kitty is now completely empty but the biggest expenses are over!

Need to hire an engine hoist and get oil/antifreeze/jubilee clips/oil seals and that should get the engine in and running!

Anyone got spare jubilee's or anything that could help save a penny or two?!

Oh and I will be getting stickers for the donators onto the car soon so will look similar to this photoshopped image....



Dont forget, if your name appears on the car, you get priority on track day driver selection

Lol that's everyone who has donated so unless others donate then it will fit! Get your licence and you'll have a drive in it!

It does have a de-cat on it, fairly new too but thanks for the offer. The springs could come in handy at any point lol!
