Hi Josh,

do you have the subframe by any chance?

if so I can come get both the subframe & timing Belt this weekend if you like,

Ok!!! lets se If I can do it properly this time!!, I have a few progress pics so lets see if I can upload them,

something that is bothering me though, the ingine seems to be tilted back a bit, its not sitting upright.... its probably me just being fussy though,

now that the sub frame is done, I can get the body sent off to get all the rust fixed!!
