building a 308 but dunno what im putting it in just yet thinking of getting a vk or vh wagon for it. picked it up the other week and took it to work and started the rebuild, the first photo is when i just brought it home, i started cleaning the heads up will shave them tomorrow, and i gave the bores a quick bottle hone to see how they were as they were painted and they are mint :) will also take the cam bearing out tomorrow and throw the block in the acid. ordered a rebuild kit on friday plus crow lifters and acl flat top pistons :) i will really enjoy this as it is my first little 308 :) anyway already have most the parts as it came with a heap.
