HAHAHAHA Chris,
Good to hear from you.
Yeah mate too bad theres a bloddy Ocean in the way!
Here's an update:
Lucky me I was able to found the front wings and a bonnet at a "chop chop" or salvage yard like you guys call it.
These pictures are a couple of days old, i havent been to the shop but the owner wrote me that the car should be on the bare metal already.
The engine, well the builder is sick and hasnt work on it. Today I was at the shop and he told me that the block will be appart tomorrow.
Unfortunately they seem to lost all the head parts (lifters, valve springs, valves, etc), the head was taken appart a while back.
I dont blame them, I blame myself by not securing those rare parts at my place.
As far im aware i've the only XE engine overhere (only a Lacetti touring car has another one here). So, may need to buy a complete head overseas... all i have is an empty head.
Will keep you posted.
