Hi guys n gals! Happy New Year! I hope you are all safe & well. The progress on Valerie continues. Many jobs have been completed! The easiest way to view the pictures is to have a look at my page on Instagram. I am @vauxfordturbo. I find it much easier to upload high resolution photos there... I no longer have a pc & the photos turn all pixilated here! No disrespect intended, as I know it's a difficult enough job hosting the site. Anyway. Have a look when you have time.
Kind Regards & best wishes.
Leigh.

Cheers, bud! I'll get some more photos up soon. Cosworth engine now sold along with the spare bottom end. Still a lot to sell! New old school engine & bellhousing to fit the T5 on their way... what will it be? All will be revealed once it's in. Couldn't afford to have the YB rebuilt, so had to go a different route & make some money to get it closer to completion. It's a swap that's been done many times, but the bulkhead does not need cut due to the new engine being distributorless & a lot shorter!
