Default A Half a Decade and Counting w/pictures

Hi All
As many of you old farts, on this board know, for quite some time, I have been working on: Upgrading/ Rebuilding /Installing / or whatever one would like to call it ...
It has been a long journey, but it looks like I am finally making some real progress, and there is really some light at the end of the tunnel, and its not an oncoming train .....
I have spent an inordinate amount of time, preparing the parts to be put back on the car,
Whether it had been re-plating, re-painting, polishing, cleaning, rebuilding, coating, or just buying new parts...
I can't say enough about the people on this board that I have had the pleasure to interacted with... I love this board and I love the people even more ( well most of them
I could have never even started this project, without the help of the members here.(when I get a little closer to the end of this effort, I will list the names, as it's a pretty long list )

I also want to send a special thanks to my good friend and neighbor, Tom M'Guinn, who for years, has endured my OCB, and a deluge of email questions. ....
Yesterday, he helped me with installing the cam tower and hopefully next week the belts....
I figured, I would start to post a few pictures of the progress
Thanks to all of you, that made this possible...
Best regards
Ed

No Luis
Actually, this was done before you even started polishing cams !!
I had to re polish most of the stuff as it lost its sheen....
You still have the best Mg intake manifold I have ever seen

Ohhhhhh so shiny. I'm hoping to in fit a reseal/refresh of my engine this Winter (if budget allows) and if I can make it look 1/10 as good as that I'll be happy. Hopefully it's more like a week or two and not 5 years, though

Any fun go-fast bits going on?

Hi Scott
Thanks
I am sure you will have it done in a snap ... Nobody can draw something like I can ....
As for the go fast stuff... It's an oldie but goody ... John's Vitesse Racing Stage II from yesteryear with the quick spool option ( mint from 4-5 yrs ago, I think that might be = to the new stage III ?) with all the bells and whistles and the usual suspects that go along with it ...
Best regards
