Who built my engine.....13-14yrs ago North Wales?
Hi, I know this is a longshot so apologies in advance and for the unnecessarily long waffle below for context 
After blowing a piston and block on my standard import many moons ago, I embarked on a project to rebuild and upgrade the engine, bodywork, gearbox, suspension, brakes etc.
I basically bought everything for the rebuild, even had a 4 door 22B bodykit fitted and had an EJ22 stroked to I believe 2.65l with pretty much the best internals available at the time.
I drove across half the country to if memory serves me right North Wales somewhere to pick up said engine from somebody who was highly recommended at the time. I started rebuilding and was half way through the running gear etc when a house move came along during which I lost one of the driveshafts for the 6 speed gearbox I was going to fit. As a result project went on hold for a bit as I changed jobs, then suddenly kids came along and next thing I know it's about 13 years later and I've barely done anything else on the project.
I just can't see me finding time to do this anymore and alongside what was the dream block at the time, the various new coilovers, wheels, gearbox etc etc are taking up space in the garage that I can't really afford so I thought I might sell the parts.
What was the spec of the engine I thought? I can't remember now, it was sometime ago obviously and I no longer have the same email pc or even workplace to find out
So I'm wondering if anyone here knows who I might have used so i can get in contact. As mentioned just over the border in North Wales, in a small town, I remember the workshop being possibly hard to find, down a country lane. Possibly a one man band, but highly respected builder at the time (for Scoobs).
Not many clues to go on, but any suggestions greatly welcomed.
