| bit of an update as we havnt had one in a while! the interiors nearly finished, just need to wire in one door speaker, wash and hoover the carpets and seats, find a parcel shelf and wire in the rear speakers. the bbs's have gone and been replaced with some steelies, two of which still need painting finally got the head off today to sort the head gasket out, change the cam and generally get things running a bit smoother managed to round one of the inlet manifold bolts off which ment the head and both manifolds had to come out as one lump, also ment i spent over an hour grinding and drilling the broken bolt out which was gash! check the breaker bar out! my fav tool! | |

| theres doesnt seem that much room when you've skinned all your knuckles, and cut your arms up! banding costs money mate, which is kinda against the whole plan of the project | |
