the cylinder walls look amazing and the head looks brand new.

did you re-use the old pistons or replace everything??

Yeah mate whole build was done by me, including engine and gearbox, only thing i didnt do was paint it!! old pistons were used but new rings, bearings and seals (all genuine parts)

I used to have the whole front bumper painted white - i like it !! but yeah great job !!

Funny you say that, i replaced the intake with a simota and removed the windsheild sticker (looked cheap), but then it was written off (girls shouldnt drive in high heels).

Nice build, sorry to hear about the write off. I think i may have bought a gearbox off you in the past. Do you live southside on the springwood maccas side of the highway?

Everything is on the parts for sale forum, looking at 3500 for engine and 1000 for box.
