    Firstly, your car is fantastic!
    Second, where you live and keep your car is fantastic! That is truly idyllic!
    Third, you're only 21!!!

    Great stuff. Any more pics of the finished engine bay? What boost are you running and any idea of power and torque? What pistons and con rods and where did you get the girdle? What do you expect it to safely rev to?

    Don't have any pics of finished engine bay, because it isn't finished yet Camshaft gear is under modification (making it adjustable), gearbox is out now because clutch didn't work with that mustangs original system. Now intend to use mondeo v6 clutch cylinder with release bearing on it. Pistons are ross custom order, con rods eagle h-profile. Girdle made from my own dimensions by Tommi's Billet here in finland.

    Some updates on my mind now.

    Brake master cylinder will be wilwood or land rover 25mm.

    Also planning to change this to use E85 fuel. So some updates needed to injectors, adding another fuel pump (044) and some updates to fuel lines.
