Looking good on those wheels. What size tyres did you go with? Will you have to tub the rear arches?

I honestly can't remember, they were a wheel and tyre package from Huddersfield, pretty sure they are Dunlops on 13" Starmags. Don't think I need to do anything with the rears but I have adjusted the front wheel arches to accomodate along with a sportspack steering rack.

Went for a 70/30 split on the inside of the bootlid. Need to put together the new spray gun.

Well this is what your brand new engine looks like after leaving it sat in a corner of a garage for 7 years:
Cleans up okay though.

Decided to fit the lightened fly wheel from Mini Spares last night:
Surprised to find that one of the bolts wasn't tightened properly.

Tucked up for the winter now, a few jobs to do to the engine including repainting and a general refresh. I need to do some welding on the Spitfire and some localised paint repairs so that will take a priority over the next few months:
