hi lads just worked out how to use my pc so here are some pics of my pride and joy
the bodywork is going to be done in the new year
i fitted the engine about 3 weeks ago with the f28 box it sounds spot on wot do you all think?
it has calibra turbo wheels and brakes, eletric sunroof, leather interior, roof tip spoiler, koni top adj all round and droped 30mm not bad as ive only had the car 6 months i moved house and got married in the same 6 months so ive been abit limited to my mods so lads tell me wot you all think?
today got bored at work so i tried out MARK T advice bout my speedo after changing the outer cv joints and rewiring my blue/red speedo wire to the abs ecu hey presto it works perfect no abs light on speedo is spot on the money ish im over the moon big THANK YOU TO MARK T
more pics to come over the next week or so

Edited:
Meant to ask, Assuming (bad i know) you had a valver in her....
Compared to a stock valver how does the new lump compare
EG: As Responsive/Smoother power/Sluggish/Nippier/Generally better etc etc
Trying to get a feel so to speak of what to expect when mines in ya see (so close but yet so far, well it seems)
I know it's a grey area comparing like for like but you don't get if you don't ask lol

The black Cover has an Immobiliser in the ECU, that's the only difference.

Dang you get to see all the best cars lol
Yeah mine will be a lon term project for sure, Money being tight for us now :(
But i have time and can now lift averagely heavy things (bit poorly in a certain area lol)
I was shocked at condition underneath in a good way though
Once valvers motted friday (bessy best not fail again after money i've had to dump into her last 2 weeks lol) i will be more mobile and eager to swap cabby into where valver was stored (bit more space) and i will get 8v out n sell it or give it away i know nowt about 8v engines lol
Be great to meet up with V6's and go from south to north and west to east
Could call it the "Cabby Ball Run" lmao
Ohh roll on mot so i can start on cab he he
Well Take Care m8
Have Fun
