Engine parts are being delivered to workshop this week for the rebore then rebuild by Amac engineering in Northallerton.
No used parts are going onto the new block which I known does add costs but I don't see the point putting is ed parts onto a new engine so I've got a shopping list of New seals, gaskets and ancillaries in with Audi now.
I've also been in discussion with a body shop as I have a couple of dinks from inconsiderate assholes and I fancy a colour change.
I will be taking my old engine out in the coming weeks then transporting the Shell to the body shop for prep and spray.
Lots going on over the winter and I doubt many will recognise her in the spring.
Looking forward to seeing this once all the changes happen, will be a bit of a beast
Have you considered just getting the car wrapped instead of resprayed? Might cost a few pennies less and you can always change back to 'normal' once you fancy another change lol
better wear ear plugs when you let her rip
