Oops sorry forgot to send you a PM saying I've got the V5c now. 8-)

Hopefully there will be plenty of pic's to follow.

Spec of replacement engine is:-

Rebuilt 1293 MG Metro Engine
AE 21253 Pistons
Kent 276 Cam
Kent Duplex Timing Gear
Big Valve MG Metro Cylinder Head
(BENROSS fettled to 25cc chambers to get the CR down as it was up around 11.5:1)
Aldon Yellow Dizzy
Verto Rally Clutch
Standard Gearbox with 3.44FD
HIF44 on Minispares Inlet
LCB Exhaust Manifold
Maniflow 1 7/8" Single Box Side Exit Exhaust

Not quite the screamer engine you intended for it but should hopefully make a nice drive. :)

LOL I'm not a hater of the "Yellow Greatness"

Just I had started my project and I have a vision of how I would like it finished.

Also for me most of the fun is in the project.

In an Ideal world I would have liked to finished it as a turbo motor. However I cannot justify the extra expense.

I would honestly like to have a tax exempt car, however this car just isn't the one for me in the long run.

Hopefully over the next few months I should get it finished to a good standard ready for the show season.

It will be recieving some more hammerite, it should still look good when it is done. :)

I reckon next jobs are:-

Source and Install front wiring loom
Full interior including replacement headlining.
Re-fit windows into car and doors.

Then get cracking on the running gear.

The first job is to weld up that big hole in the top of the passenger inner wing.

Trust me, you don't want an interior fitted when I'm welding...
