very nice martin, seems a shame though to have all that lovelly high spec stuff, then finish it off with an ashley system . . . . .

[SHIFTY]

Gonna be some machine Martin
And sound spot on too!

[wiggyrs]

Lovely bit of kit you got there Martin

[brotherhood]

Very nice! Have been thinking the same lately myself about what engine to upgrade to from my pinto. But, I was watching a old video the other day of my mates old mk2 with a 233 bhp pinto around curborough in lichfield (car was featured in first classic ford issue) and there is something about the sound of a sorted pinto being used in anger so i think for now, I'll stay put.

Cheers guys, looking forward to getting her up and running and out for a wee test

[turbospud]

your gonna need driving lessons from sharky on how to use those 235 torques

[martin c]

LOL, Be just like driving a 16 x-flow again

Finally pulled the finger out and put the engine in
Decided to try putting the engine and box in as one :shock: Never done it this way before, always done the engine & box separate, apart from a wee fight with the starter motor it went very smoothly
Thanks to Colin 2 for giving us a hand this morning :thanks:
Now to get it all connected up over the next few weeks and it will be :dance: :dance: :dance:
