Need to introduce your cousin to the wonderful world of polishing...
LC engine bays are massive arent they!
Could fit an rb26dett in there with a couple of GT35's...

Looking sweet! How long til it's up and running? Doesn't look like there is much left to do. Good idea i reckon, putting an rb30 into a torana!!!
