Oh! So has he gotten over the nearly dying of paint fumes incident and able to put the love back into the cars then? At least they still live on!

Well, thats a kinda gery blunt and raw way to put it..... but yeah, he's had it just under a week and so far he bought
.new clutch kit
.new water pump
.new cam seals
.new timing belt kit
.7" touch screen DVD Player

The joys of working in a Motor factors.

Blunt and raw raw way of putting it? Sorry, wasn't being unsympathetic - as my previous post when I first heard about that shows!

Not sure how else to put it TbH...

Anyway, it's great he's been able to move on and I look forward to seeing what he does with it next

Hey guys I'm back again, it's been a strange year to say the least. But I have my baby back again, and most of all my confidence.

Here's one of my fav pics of how the engine bay turned out:

So when I got the car back I bought all this stuff:

Blueprint clutch kit and timing kit:

Waterpump:

Cam seals and a Blox gold end cam seal:

New rad:

New key:

Braided stainless steel brake lines:

New front engine mount and 2 refurbished side mountings:

All oils and a lower timing cover:

Amber corners:
