Hey everyone,

Just posting as ive made some major progress this weekend on the tuned up 316. Got the engine and box out ready for the new lump to be put in one night in the week. Feels great to be in full swing with this project again!

This was a good sight when i got in from work!

then the engine was being prepared to be ripped out of there :cool:

Good things come in small packages, theres loads of room for working in the engine bay. also means loads of room for forced induction fun!
