2276 going here. Should have all the parts for the short block by beginning of March. Not sure if I will actually install it in the car this year though.

me! me! me!

i had the busiest year of work i've ever done, and only managed about 3 weekends of work on the car, but as of January i have 3 or 4 months spare, and, as long as my house sale doesnt fall through, enough cash to finish it.

finally should have the car on the road during the summer 2008, gonna have a real push to get it ready for EBI2......

i have to have it done by September......that'll be its 10 year anniversary in my garage.

Ran my fresh 2165cc in driving to EBI and back from the UK.

Just a tune and an oil change and I will give it some hell next year!

I should get my 2007 into my car, with a stock 1500 gearbox sometime early next year. Hopefully make a couple of passes out of session at an event when O/FF are there!

My 1915cc is run in last year (started driving to the 1st European Bug In) with 40mm dell'orto's.  Hopefully, I will have IDA's by next season, then the car will be like I always wanted it after 13 years of ownership and 11 years of restoration...
