Went to visit her today. The bottom end is completed... Again... The head is back Monday and the refurbed turbos return on Tuesday.

The Driftworks HICAS lockout kit and adjustable camber control arms are in.

Soon it will be run in heaven again and shortly thereafter I want to call her DONE!

Update time...
Motor has been rebuilt and the turbos refurbished.

The motor has been in and out of the car 3 times while the extended sump is fabricated. The sump capacity has gone from 2,5l to 8l.
Here are some pics:

The extended sump is baffled, has traps and there is a splash cover. Should stand up to some abuse.

We decided on the extension so that a minor leak does starve the motor at the catastrophic rate it did when we lost a turbo seal and starved the motor in a few km's.

Meth is in and soon we will be running it all in again;-)

Right,
After a mighty battle with gravity and space Wessel wrestled the motor back into the engine bay.

As of this afternoon the gearbox is back on and the rest of the tie in is being done. If all goes well i should have her for running in towards the end of next week.
