    My 20 year old Sierra is far, far less rusty than my 12 year old Nissan was, even before the work was started on Clive . Worth spending the money on

    Fair enough,Magenta was my favourite colour too.....until I had it,then I wished it was white but I had to sell mine anyway so hey ho-one of the most fun cars Ive ever driven they just feel special when you sit in the drivers seat,like a school kid

    I think I have my old cossie gearknob around somewhere too.Il have a look

    I called in today to pay some money towards this and had a look round it for a progress update. Wanting it to be ready for the weekender, I was slightly perturbed to find the engine missing from the car...

    Dave's only gone and removed the whole thing while the head is off, so he could paint it

    Do we think that Dave perhaps likes Cosworths a bit?

    Do you think there's a chance he won't let you have it back once he's finished?

    I've not actually booked any hill time, but I am hoping it will be ready in time for next weekend

    Anyone else ever read these project threads and look at the dates of updates hoping for them to be ages ago so when you get to the last page you can see the finished project?

    Looking good Aitch

    Well hopefully, in a weeks time, you will be able to see the finished result. I'm also hoping to have all the pictures Dave and Sarah have taken during the process, from start to finish

    Since the engine pictures were taken, Dave has painted all the wheels and pulleys, even though they will be hidden behind a plastic cover

    The attention to detail has been second to none

    I probably won't have time - I've got a hectic week on . I'm off on the Monday following, so I will probably create an album then and get it posted

    The engine is back in and I even heard it running today. I'm getting rather excited now

    I've been banned from the garage now, and I'm only allowed back when the job is complete and the car will be revealed to me in a "pimp my ride" fashion. However, I have happened upon these updates...







    It's looking good for Friday and the weekender
