Some more pics peeps mainly of the brakes and wheels and one of my favourite sticker lol.

I know people think the brakes are silly red but I'm trying to make it into and Anniversary rep so red brakes is a must.

ell after ordering a gasket set for tomorrow (£63) overnight with mls gasket. I decided to spend the day cleaning polishing and di some mild port work on the throttle body and lower inlet. I would have done more but the amount of metal to remove in other places was so minute it wasn't worth the hassle.

Here are a few pics.

Head off. Much heavier than a K-series head i'm used to, head seems much more robust too.





The nut that caused all the hassle.



Dishwasher is a handy parts cleaner just don't tell the rents lol.



Back garden/Spray booth/sunny workshop



Need a bigger garage for sure.



Garage was state this morning lol.



What has impressed me is that with 113 (hard no doubt) thousand miles the pistons and bores are like new.



Overnight parts storage in my room lol.

Coilies on today ride height is spot on what I was after. Comfort is suprising although it does get busy at high speed.

Here they are. (not a bad bit of kit for the money)



Heres a few pics albeit rushed.













Still some ground clearance.

Right guys unfortunatly due to the rising cost of fuel and and setting up self employed again I need to get myself more fuel efficient.

I'm after selling the car or swapping for a mk3 TDi estate.

Price wise in it's current state (been cleaned up a lot since the rr day lol) I am looking for around £1000 considering how much the car is worth in parts.
