thought I would update it , been using the corsair non stop every show I could get to, went to the supernats on my own I didn't take any pictures as I completely forgot so if anyone got any please post them to the thread , also been going to Chelsea cruise for the past few months again no pictures was with a load of mates we just had a laugh was really good cant wait for next year , also went to the corsairs at the ace café a few months back had no problems at all ! although the engine is the original one and does need a full rebuild , I have looked into it and its going to cost 1k ~+ so maybe something with 8 cylinders will find its way in there this winter..? I'm sorting it as we speak. at the ace got so much attention oddly, I'm not used to this with any of my cars but It made a nice change even though the car wasn't finished in my eyes chilling out after a long journey we didn't break down before you ask lol! (and the centre cap is in the boot ) oh also got the seat fully retrimmed happy with this for the price I paid as well! from this: to this oh and carpeted next is to get the door cards done and a few other touches and were done inside and painted the centre of the American racing mags grey to match the interior and also its the colour they came from when they were new and it suits it much better I personally think, and all 4 centre caps are in I must get another picture that's it really just trying to sort a new engine out gathering the bits then more will be revealed but for the time being I'm not polishing it or cleaning it that much just using it as much as I can its made all the 4 years work worth it in my eyes. thanks for reading

Looks fantastic! You not fancy dropping an Essex in there for ease of conversion? Will still go well and sound nice.

thank you! no not really as it will cost just as much and I will only have a v6, and most v6's I know always have 'issues' . 'there's no substitute for quibic inches' I've been told hah, plus it will finish the cars in my head having that noise you just cant beat it

went to the supernats on my own I didn't take any pictures as I completely forgot so if anyone got any please post them to the thread , I had a really good look at this at the Supernats. It really does sit nicely and the wheels suit it perfectly. This was the only photo I took of it though.
