Wow! Great progress! Must be nearly finished?

Hi Stuart :-) it's taken 2 years of collecting engine and suspension parts to get here. It drives how I want it to now, really smooth, no worrying about pot holes, or speed bumps anymore :-) the engine sounds how I like it, subtle exhaust and can hear the OEM dump valve through the K&N :-)

I plan to just do general maintenance and enjoy it now. Having said that, the rocker cover gaskets are weaping, so I want to sort that, and all other seals while the engine is out. But it's only seeping, so not a high priority. The EML light came on yesterday, Duncan said it was the 02 sensor that was playing up while he was mapping it, so I'm going to replace both this week :-)

I'll take pics and post of anything else I do.

The hawk and 2.5 is my favourite scooby. I'm really happy with where I am with it, mechanically.

I have a saloon bumper, wings and arch liners that will be going on soon :-) I may tweak the styling and suspension a bit more.

It's a fantastic build and saloon panels will really set it off.
I need to stop reading these wagon build threads as it's giving me too many expensive ideas for mine...

Great result. That must be fun to drive now!

Mate, i love driving it!! :-) Its almost exactly how i want it. Here's the torque curve.

WOW. Looks like fun.

Hello Mate :-)

It's my daily, and works perfectly as a daily, and has enough enough get up and go to put a big smile on my face! :-)

But, as a daily the ride is almost spot on!

Sorry, havent been here in a while! Little update :-)

The saloon front end is on, and looks lovely! Although, it looks like it needs a splitter on the front bumper. I'll get some pics once i've cleaned it and put them up.

In the meantime, here's some pics of the in wing indcution kit that was fitted before the map :-)
