    Looks good bud.

    Its amazing how many bits i can spot on there that used to reside in my shed lol.
    Get some up with the new wheels - we still need to work out the spacers needed.

    Cheers

    That pic of me and widgster was much more suspect than it looked

    You owe me a new beanie btw as mine is now a dribbling melted mess after spending an hour with my head stuck in your arch lol.

    Engine looking good mate will see you in a couple of weeks for round 2 of Man v Arch.

    got more bits for the rb,
    sent the head off to be checked and skimmed, got the valves seated,
    got the uprated bearing, took out the sr and running gear,
    hid all the wiring and painted the bay
    replace the subframe with the r33 one
    cleaned and painted all brackets and parts
