2.0 16v conversion, custom radiator in :p
Right then quick history first, last year i decided to do a 16v conversion on my cabbie (Helen) Heres first conversion
then after not clamping battery down it slipped off the battery tray and earthed out setting my loom on fire Fire bridage
So now after the great northern run which involved me and ross irvine driving upto leebubs and picking up a 9a block each i have started again
heres how helen looked saturday luckily there wasn't any body damage in the fire
heres how the 9a looked when i got it home the 1.8 KR head was polished and ported (also off leedub)

the 9a stripped
cleaned and painted, it was painted black when i got it but as lee said you wouldn't see any leaks etc
so stripped it best i could and gave it a coat of red
then started putting new water pump and other bits back on
can't finish putting it back together yet as i need the engine mount off the kr thats in the car
and the rocker cover and intake manifold are being polished
notice the double pully on the water pump as i still need to run a power steering pump for the power steering conversion i did last year
