well ive got the carbs all hooked up now found out the vacume hose's are actually a breather hose and a overflow hose no vacume hose's lol they run really well got a really nice tone to them just need to tune them now not much clearance had to unbolt the carbs from the manifold to get the airfilters on.

well i finished welding the plate in the engine bay instead of the bubble had to tack weld the hole thing in which was gay but got there eventually allso had to weld a little strip below it which i think came up quite gud just cleaning up all the inperfections in the engine bay and then i can move on to the rest of the rust in the body woo.

Well i got my engine back from Hpe auto all up cost me $2500 which isnt to bad i guess wasnt exstremly impressed with there proffesionalism on the hole thing forgot to do several things even tho i reminded them like 5 times but its all be sorted now.

Put the crank in and pistons used crc engine lube which should do the trick quite well was abit touch and go when i had to do the piston ring gaps but hellrazier gave me some info/advice on how and i got it sorted.

Well finaly the engine has been pulled down and put back togeather properly thanks to Nismo.

The car is painted thanks to D.P.N.S and its all comeing along quite well took it out for its first

drive today and it went really well only thing that let me down was not haveing a spring on the

idle control screw which i didnt realise till i got home and the fiberglas bonnet flexing when i

went over a 100 k but i will strengthin that some how running the bottem end in on a head

supplied by Nismo with the standard 32/36 and once we feel its run in anuf will be upgradeing

to a bigger head with the cam rockers and valves out of the head i previously brought turned out

the port job wasnt so gud on it at one point it actually flowed worse than a standard pinto in the

exhaust side. Nismo is building me a up a special head so should be very interesting heres a couple

pictures.
