    Engine is in with picts to prove!

    I put the engine in the other day. Had to do it solo since every one I know was busy. Was not too bad just took my time. The PS mount, idler pulley mounts, crank hub and nose cones are home made. I still need to add the WP cone. The seats started out as an old set of MG frames. I did a bunch of cutting and welding then had the leather stiched up locally. I have removable head rest and heaters too,

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
    Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    wow that is a "Cool Whip" pun intended, it looks awesome!!
    Cowards are vile, vicious and vindictive in private, but innocent and charming in front of witnesses; no-one can, or wants to believe this individual has a vindictive nature - only the current target of the coward's aggression sees both sides.

    Stress filled occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men .........................
