Hi All

its been so long i thought i might as well say hi and start again on here :)after 8 years the rebuild is finally under way

the cabby's been locked away in my garage without a thing been done to it over this time

except when i moved house it got dragged out of one garage and shoved into another

i have decided to drop a k04 20vt engine in

the cab is having the engine bay painted this week

full engine rebuild has been done with a rebore wosner pistons the crank has been reground with forged rods and has been rebuilt in a freshly painted block

we are doing all new brake and fuel lines and overhauling the calipers

i am so looking forward to getting this car back on the road

Liking the plan for the engine, I would probably fit bigger brakes if fitting a 20vt and not bother overhauling the original calipers as they may not put for job with the power your engine will produce?
