Your bathroom sink looks like a turbo with a holley on it???

I had a crank in the toilet the other day, but that's a totally different story....

Yeah Stanley, only its been at snails pace.
The engine is now ready for final assembly.
Altho I have been side tracked re-making brackets for the battery & fuel cell & anything else other than the motor assembly.
