A bit of an update.

I have now taken the car off the road as the mot was due and needed a few bits doing, so i thought sod it, i might aswell try and get everything done that i was planning on getting done anyway.

Its now SORN and in the garage. I have started to take the engine out, the plan is to replace a few seals on the engine, change the cambelt, waterpump and tensioner, then degrease and paint the whole thing. Same with the engine bay. I want it to look like new under there :lol:
Image

I gave the rocker cover a quick paint just to see what it would look like and it came out ok. Marc is going to do one for me soon, but this one was in such a state that i thought i might aswell.

Pics are awful, sorry. Im getting a new digital camerea next month so will get some proper pics up as soon as.
