I need a backup engine builder to bore, hone and deck my block should my preffered choice be too busy in the next week or two.

Preferably in SE or near northampton.

Must have experience of subaru engines.

Cheers

Paul

Many thanks to Steve at SMG, made to feel very welcome, even without the aid of sponges.

Very impressed with how little space can be left in a given building after being filled with machines!

They certainly aint toys...

I would guess at a workshop with close to £500k -> £1m worth of tools..
