Hi Geoff

Yes, My car is on the road now and I can't leave it alone.

Since the SVA and registration I have had it painted and fitted the EFI so I imagine before that it was somewhere around the £20-25K mark.
Keep in mind though that everything except the Jaguar bits is brand new on my car.

Hi Craig

You had me worried for a while, I was looking at around the £20k mark to get my Dax on the road, but I can see me spending easily another £10k on improvements, nothing gay of course

The question has to be asked once you've completed that will you be going the route of volkswagen with turbocharging as well as supercharging ?
Also what size Rover V8 did you start with ?

Just interested , as the missus has restricted me to rover v8 but didn't specify the bhp,
she wouldn't understand
