Blast from the past indeed - I have the facilities to do almost all the jobs I need now from pipe bending to heavy lifting - a lot of investment in
tools over the past few months
Best thing is that I have the hardest part to aquire already - LT77 gearbox from an SD1 and RV8 that runs with no problems
Altho I might change the LT77 in favour of a 6 speed BMW cogger

'tho I'm a fan of the R V8, wouldn't a BMW V8 have been a better, more powerful option?
Oh, and hello. Again

Now then Joel - All is good thanking you, yourself?
Simon - The engine that was in the E36 originally was the 1.9 16v lump, head gasket failure prompted me to drop another engine in, and RV8's are
ten a penny thesedays
