unfortunately I've hurt my back and finding it difficult working on the car. body is off and chassis refurbed. suspension and brakes fitted. Engine/clutch/gearbox fitted along with diff and driveshafts and stainless exhaust. New brake pipes and flexibles fitted.New hood, seats and rollcage purchased along with s/h rad and fans.

I would like the car to be on the road for 2013 - so not in a desperate hurry.

will upload some photos soon.

Anyone fancy taking on the job of finishing or at least getting it so it starts and drives - obviously for beer tokens/money.

Due to other commitments and now the lack of a garage I am not in a position to do this.

You could try Boosted LS1 he has done more than one, here's his website - mods if this isn't allowed please just edit rather than removing.

Update

I eventually found a local one man and his dad garage that willingly took on the job to get it so the S would start and drive - MD Vehicle Services.

Within a couple of years and a move to larger premisses and an extra lift (Michael also took on another mechanic as his business grew) The S was complete and after a VOSA inspection (as had been a cat C) MoT etc. it on the road.

I drove it for 10k miles in three years, but I was disappointed with the and decided to source another powerplant.

Spent another year and a half fitting a Jaguar AJ30 engine and box (Emerald ecu) and Jools mapped it to 265bhp.

That's more like it

25k miles in 6 years and still thoroughly enjoying the S.
