Here's a pic of my blue Gold Convertible. Yesterday I had it out for the first time this year. It's pretty fast with a 3.44 diff and at least 120bhp under the right foot. The 3.44 diff is now going to be replaced with a 3.1 to make it to Stoneleigh. Also new valve seals to cure the immense oil consumption. I had it checked at a local specialist and apart from a noisy valvetrain and axial play on the main crankshaft it seems okay.
Hope all goes well with the engine removal and installation and hope to see ya!
