Life throws some crazy stuff at you sometimes. We posted some progress photos of our engine on our facebook group, and the owner a very reputable race car transmission manufacturer saw the quality of my brother's work, and he has offered Andrew a job in the U.K. He is emigrating this Saturday.
I will continue to build the engine myself, with the help of Greg where needed, but I'm feeling both proud of Andrew, and gutted at the same time.
I will miss him terribly, but wish him all the best in his new adventure!
