	A few block mods done over the hols, it needed to be trimmed for the starter motor, crank sensor and alternator Hopefully get the exhaust manifold soon to test fit and then back in the car for more fitting

	Decided I wanted an ally tank with a sump, so these guys made me one

	Looking good 👍 if it's not a personal question, how much did the tank set you back? Been thinking of alloy tanks myself...

	Finally had an evening to make a start mounting this thing, gearbox end is all done so just the front to sort out. Exhaust test fit first though.

	Mounts tacked up, happy with the fit so time to pull it all back out and finish welding
