Here is the pics of the fully forged motor going in ...

Who needs a car ramp when you have a jack and axle stands !!







Have to say it was a night mare to do on the drive and wish I had took it to the work shop lol

Fair play to you mate doing it on your drive, it's not the most forgiving job and not much space either

Yep I have a work shop but its out of town and means I have to drive there and when I drive there I carnt have a beer so I did it on the drive ..

Got the motor out Friday night and the car was running Saturday around 3/4 o'clock so didn't do to bad really :D took me and my mate around 14 hours in total

Bet your neighbours loved watching that!

They were mad at me because I had sold my beloved series one rs turbo to pay for the build of this car .. Which in one way I am gutted about but I love this evo its ace and a little bit newer then the escort . But will never be worth as much :sad:
