I have all engine parts as well so I thought a step by step GAA engine build would go down quite well,(been 40 odd years since I have done this) Aim is to have it running for my birthday (May) what are your thoughts?
Next is a build on our Shellsport replica Mk 2 escort (RS1800) complete with injected BDG,hopping for Manfield (Nov) cheers, Rob".
Ok, ok...I'll be the nit-picky old man.
If it's a replica Shellsport car, it cant have a 4 valve/cylinder engine.
I only say that because I think it's imperative we save any of the original Shellsport cars left in this country...in original state.
Sorry to be a grump
