    Doin me a motor swap

    Taking my second car up to my buddies shop in kent today. Already got the m50 pulled out of the Alpine car, and pullin the m20 out of the zinno car today. Hopefully throwin the m50 in starting tomorrow. Pics will be posted of the swap and both cars later. Wish me luck, hopefully everything goes smoothly and I'll have a running swap car next weekend.

      Yeah unfortunately everything didnt go as planned. He has 6 race cars in his shop with millionaire owners who piss and moan if they're kept waiting so my car has to wait until next weekend. But pics will (finally) be posted then. But everything is all prepped and ready to go so it'll go quick

                              Yeah I will give you a call. We can roll your fenders or something. That would be awsome if you get some money out of the white car.
