Any updates on any project?

My Car;

Fitting Surge Tank This Weekend Hopefully. Bought Leathr Interior and Chrome Door Handles

The HQ;

Ill Put Photos Up But Engine Is 95% Done


By The Way The Heads Are Procomp On The Chev, We Heard They Weren't The Best Heads Because Of Flow Compared To Other Heads, So They Have Been Custom Machined And Flow Tested And Now Flow Better Than Most Other Brands.

Been reading this thread over the past couple of days and I have to say what an epic build mate congrats makes me wanna pull the XU6 apart and go nuts (if only I had the bank balance lol) what u do for a crust mate? CEO of a major oil company no doubt! I'm thinking of stroking the L67 and chucking a turbo in before the charger should b interesting to c how that combo goes now just to rob the nearest bank to fund my little adventure and I'm set. In all seriousness though congrats on a great build and hope to c the finished product soon cheers mate!

It's taken a while, and belive me its been shitt*** me because i just want to get the thing on the road already, and completion will be in about 3-4 months time because i have no money left!! haha believe it or not! im actually looking at another car to buy aswell because this car isnt a daily any more due to power and undrivability. im looking at a supra which arent that cheap aswell...but ive always wanted one.
