Had a few problems
Changed clutch and gearbox
Hole in the floor under the seat
Driveshaft support bearing
Lambda sensor
Insurance takes most of my money but hoping to tidy up the interior and maybe add angel eyes or tint the lights. Engine is standard cos of insurance but at 90K not sure how much longer it will last. :ponder:
Cheers, see ya around.

Thanks, don't think it has been treated well before me though :n:, it sounds a bit rattley and hope it is just the valve clearances (yn) hopefully it will last for a while yet :p
