A new engine gets dropped in
After the bodywork and spraypainting at Mamics the Mighty Boy was transported back to Newcastle Auto Dismantlers to get the engine put back in.
We've gone from a 500 to an 800. And I must say having driven it in since these photos were taken you can feel the difference.
I won't be involved in any illegal drag racing any time soon with it still being a 3 cylinder, but it's got enough grunt to accelerate up a hill without suffering an automotive cardiac arrest.
The engine block is still the same size, but the pistons are larger.

What do you think so far? Be kind as I'd hate to hurt the little Mighty Boy's feelings.
