Another thank-you post here, this time for Mr Giallofly.

Nicky and I left straight from work and headed over to Earls Barton last night, with a boot full of scrounged, begged and borrowed parts, ready for JF to make something useful out of.

By 10pm we (see: he) had a short motor built up.

There's still a long way to go, but it's really got me back into it seeing some progress.

Big thanks to Simon at Morspeed (01530 830369) for the machine work, bearings and what-not. Top marks for the quality of the work, and the excellent prices. No complaints at all (now get my head finished! haha)

So far we owe thanks to Wolfie for supplying the engine and gearbox, TomF for the pistons, Iain for being the delievery boy, and a huge thanks to JF for teaching us everything enginey, letting us have his bed for the night, and taking us to his local.. :cool: - I expect this list will grow and grow as Project Turbo Frog gains momentum.

I'll update this thread with pics later on, when we get home.

No worries.

It is looking good so far with nice freely rotating bottom end with spot on cam timing.
