Did you smoke your angels?

I've smoked a few sets of standards in my time but never attempted a set of angels?

Cheers mate, still need to raise the back, far too cold to do it just now though

I'll let you know at somepoint mate. It's just a load of hassle getting another set of wheels, and getting the tyres off them. It will be done in the future though

Been a while since i gave this an update

I have fitted the 266mm brakes and fitted a new bonnet

The head gasket is on its way out, unbelievable with the mileage.

All the parts have been ordered and i will be doing it next weekend, first major engine repair but it's the only way to learn!

Couple of pics

Washed with Black Diamond shampoo and alloy cleaner





After a polish

[Chico999]

Just got my headgasket, bolts, cam belt and oil

All ready for the gasket change next weekend

[Chico999]

[Chico999]

Much bigger job than i thought it was going to be, but it went well

Rockers off



My wee pal sleeping on the shelf keeping me company lol

Glad i've got my car back, be up for sale in a couple of months

[Chico999]

Lol nah not atall!

Im thinking about raising the back this weekend aswell, I fucked the measurements last time because it was 4am in the snow when i done it lol!

Yeah i was thinking that........does a 4-2-1 join go into two in the middle rather than the bottom?

Seems to go into 2 for a bit then into 1?

I'll take another photo
