Hi guys - I'm happy now,GOT THE ENGINE BACK! Danny & John @ Bresciani's have been sooo good to me. The engine came delivered all wrapped up in plastic - felt like chrissy time ! The engine, once unwrapped, was beautifully presented - and they really looked after me on price too. I can thoroughly recommend them, as they are just the best bunch of genuine & sincere guys around. ...can you tell I'm happy? Now all I have to do is find the time to fit the thing !

i saw this car about 3 years ago when it was first getting built.... one is THE nicest vl's i have EVER seen, and top marks to Brett for telling everyone what's on it, not hiding the facts. About to put 400hp through your old 5spd too, see how she hold's up! so far so good...

I'll take some pics on Sunday & post them up. I'm running a twin plate copper button clutch with a fresh 5 spd turbo box. I've had 31 spline axles put in the diff too - should all hold-up fine.
