Build ongoing, started August last year. Just finished changing the engine from a BMW 2.8 to a Jag 3.0 - I'm now back where I was in early September - brake lines!

95% of donor stripped and deposit down for chassis and wishbones.

At the beginning of a long road (especially between work, little ones and keeping the wife happy by not spending too much time in the garage), but loving it... so far at least! :D

The spool up time must be about a week on that thing, lol

I gave up on the turbo idea after deciding:
a. I couldn't be ar5ed
b. I didn't want to spend any more money on the car... and
c. it's quick enough for me as it is

All fair points.

I wanted more low down power in mine, it couldnt pull the skin off a rice pudding below 4k so im hoping my small turbo will help that.

Mines the same, I just try to keep it above 4k :)
It reminds me of an old 2 stroke Yamaha with a broken power valve I once had.
As you opened the throttle you got nothing...nothing...nothing...nothing...WHEELIE!!!
Great fun :D
