Rebuild Project E55 Estate

[sheepy67]

It needed flocking

Don't knock it until you've felt it..... It feels soooo nice, it's almost naughty

I love the shots of the motor going back in

(a) it's mahoosive
(b) those manifolds look beautiful

Keep the updates coming.

Now I've had a chance to hear those clips - it does sound like it is going to fly.

There seems to be a staggered rumble - is that the custom exhaust (i.e. normal but louder) or has the pulley in some way changed the engine sound?

Sounds like an american muscle with open headers
Exhaust is on?

Well done Acid, massive amount of work done, even you must be thinking "sh*t, hope I don't have to pull this apart again"
