Hi all, I recently purchased a 2002 V8SE and love it but have now just got hold of a 2002 R that needs a bit of work on the sills. It has a fully rebuilt engine, subframes have been shotblasted and powder coated, new brake pipes etc so just waiting for it to be finished.

Like to see photos.

Regards, John

Good photos. Best Wishes for the continued restoration programme.

Regards, John

Apparently it had thrown a rod.

Hi

Wow Never seen that,

only time seen these fail, is when they either get low on oil or overheat due to a water leak.

Even when they have been abused, not seen that, they will happily handle 750 bhp with a KB supercharger.

love mine

good luck with the build

cheers
