The resto so far on the woody has been an uphill struggle but I'm slowly getting the upper hand. The van is certainly worth the effort though and keep up the good work.

hopefully by singleton park (show) there will be a 16v engine in the daily drive!

not gonna give away to many details but it will be roughly 120bhp (at the wheels) as standard and fitted under a standard length flip front, i may post up pics of my progress or i might just leave it untill the show.

saying that it all depends if i get the engine i want this week otherwise i'll never do it on time

my time scale for singleton park my well be off now as the person i was buying the engine off sold it today even though they were suposed to be keeping it untill tomorro for me to pick up

still making progress just waiting for another engine now.

on a side note my father has decided that the city needs to have a vtec in it, when its done it may well be the first bmh shelled mini with a vtec so he's made an offer on a civic as a donnor.
