        plenty of progress this weekend!had a ride over to ralloy on saturday for the new radiator and underbonnet dry sump tank while also i received my new jenvey dth throttle bodysme and rob set about putting the engine in plenty of looking back, eyeing in the engine to were it was square and level and welding the solid mount engine mounts.managed to sort it and get it sitting in perfect i think it could have something to do with rob using his precise engine alignment goggles

                  Thanks guys ! Carnt remember the last time I bought my self a decent pair of jeans due to this build but it's starting to pay off now also helps having a few grp4 escort mates gives me a bit of a kick up the arse sometimes.also carnt wait to see monte 2 finished will be a real piece of kit! I have no idea Wat we will do for spanner men if we all do same rally

                    Nice work Dane and Rob

                    Looks at home in there for a Luton Taxi Lump I've always thought Rob could do with some glasses, they suit him a treat!!

                    Fair play Dane, I didn't realise you were such a you such a youngster

                    Did you go for the 60mm core Rad? looks chunky. That's what I've changed to after Caerwent when it was 30DegC!!! Better to have some extra cooling capacity.

                    That's a long inlet length, should give a great balance between power and torque.

                    Looks Lurvely

                        I'm not competing in eating challenges anymore I'm retiring as a champion, my body is a temple Gary has moved premises as well so Kebab nights are no more

                        That's what I used to call Robs engine, he loved it

                        So what Rad size is it???

                                There prepfab monte's mate there really wide! Infact that wide I need to have another axle casing built about 3" wider each side if you fancy it? As I'm not happy with the width I want the wheels right out to the arches
