What???
Dude...that's an utter bargain.

Same guys I bought the original engine from, heavily discounted the labour for me, a little extra to transport my car one way.

Got to pay for fluids etc on top.

Too good to turn down, picking my car up next Thursday hopefully.

And there was me thinking we needed to have a quick whip round.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

 :) now that is a result and would go with that any day :)
even if you added some refresh bits or had to pay for little bits to done as they are working on and making easy to do there and then got to be worth the little bit extra cost of peace of mind :)  :)

at least  now it will take some of the car stress off you :)  :)

sorry cant help with the house but will be worth it in the end if you are getting a garage as well :)  :)

It's not going to Lee, he just built it. It's going to SJ in Birmingham and they are picking it up for me.

Good luck to you both.

Collected my car from SJ Autosport today. It's running nicely, seems smoother and not quite so Cammy, as the old engine. Stopped after an hour just to check everything, all good. Haven't driven it in anger yet due to the weather but I'm very pleased so far.

Jam at SJ, has been great, sent me photos at each stage of all the new parts going in/on. 4 day turnaround including picking it up.

I just need to go over it now and double check everything, then try to get booked back in for a new roof.

He is going to open up the old engine this week and let me know the extent of the damage.....should be interesting!

Looks like things went to plan and the car will be better than ever.
Hope you can get the roof sorted ASAP

Just saw the pics of the build. The boys seem to have done a very thorough job. Very nice indeed. Like the extras you threw in :)
