Mk1 project slow

I think the AGU has forged pistons than can take up to about 300bhp? Could be wrong though
Not sure mate I can't remember the cranks rods etc were all different to some being forged and some weaker than others.. But I think it may handle more than 300horse

Cheers matel.. Yeah i was pretty chuffed im hard to please thou… but its grew on me a lot and there getting that thin on the ground to find these days when this project came up it was exactly what i wanted. I terms of body work etc its all been done and im not getting rust in my eyes stripping it 😄 It was lws carbon for the roof there on eBay to. Waited a long long time for it and then the forge berg build got priority but was worth the wait.Joe90k said

I painted the rocker cover black on satuarday and I picked up some stainless steel allen head bolts and washers. Just need to order some m7 ones now which are apparently hard to get.
Painted the head
So while I'm waiting on the gasket set to arrive I thought I would marry some of it up to make sure I get the bolt lengths all sorted out.
How its looking now
Timing belt to do and the gaskets and sump bolts plus a few other parts need cleaned up and painted.. Then its on to the gearbox and hopefully il get it in
Pretty chuffed with how its coming on it just takes to long..
Painted the head

Il be using the engine cover most of the time if it fits. I done it black so the stainless bolts stood out a bit plus silver gets dirty lol.
I'm going to be doing the box in black to, looking forward to that as it should be a bit quicker..
