Went in to woodsport today to see how they are getting along with my conversion, and everytime I go in there the Crews attention to detail astounds me.
The engine is in but there is still abit left to do, Paul will a do a propoer build thread when he time as he has took loads of pictures but here is a sneak peak.

To say I am happy is an understatement :drool2:
Looks good, really like the inlet manifold. The blue and silver combination is spot on!

popped into to see Mr Woods today and dropped some hob nobs off you all know his conversions are all powered by hob nobs. But got a good surprise when I went in barring some shake down testing and an MOT the car is finished. Nice to hear a working engine in the car for the first time in a year.
Here is a little video of everything running tickityboo

just a quick update for you guys on here.
I picked the car up today and I have to admit I am over the moon with Woodsports work.
Loads of torque (cant wait till I have done a few hundred miles so I can have a propoer go), and especially love the sound when you press the load pedal. Truly awesome I cant praise Paul and Anths work highly enough.
Have to admit I thought there was something not quite right when I first picked the car up as it didnt seem quite as quick as I had hoped and very little travel on the loud pedal. But, I discovered that the car mat was trapped behind the pedal.
