That is unreal! I am just gob smacked at how they just cut a chunk out of your wheels arches and extended them. They look unreal. All the best with the car mate.

Not sure on what is happening with the engine, EAS had it 90% ready about 6 months ago, the car isn't aimed at running much better than 9.0 The car was tubbed cause the owner had the cash to do it and felt like doing it and wanted the car to look tuff as, and wants to put 19 x 12 rims on the rear at some stage
