    Eric's new heart

    Well as a few of you know i have been dragging my heels on eric's new heart.......... well this last friday i finally managed to drop it into place. !!................ "about time" I hear some of you !!!

    Motor is a 3.7 alfa on throttle bodies and using a Go tech ECU all built and run up in a "donkey car" by Dawie de Villiers in South Africa..... took delivery of it a couple of years ago ?!

    Sprayed the chassis black as it was getting a bit shabby to say the least !!

    Now for the plumbing and wiring....... no need to rush ??... LOL

    Hope you've been busy with the waxoyl too Phil! I'd hate to think the chassis was getting shabby from the inside out like mine....
