The wheels have 4 good tyres on them, and ive no replacement wheels. So im just going to get them powder coated tbh as I cant be doing with the hassel and ending up with wheels I dont want after alot of traveling around/ messing about.

Well... Im glad I did the timing belt. This was an accident waiting to happen!  :shocked:

New mirrors are here and on.. so much better lol. Also with the new timing belt on car is alot quicker. When I came to time the engine back up, I found out I couldnt time it up to where it was marked where it was taken off...so It was running half a tooth out on the camshaft becuase the belt was so slack and the crank was accelerating ahead of the cams. So thats a 1/4 tooth out on the cam which makes alot of difference. So car isnt as slow as I first thought it was, not a huge difference obviously, but noticable and MPG is up  :smiley: Wheels are going gunmetal grey on Sunday taking them over to my mate for refurbing. Anyone in Preston got some wheels I can borrow for a day?!  :kiss:

Valve is sorted too now. It fires. Its alot quieter than Im used to but it still there sort of. Kinda good becuase I want to slip by un-noticed in this car, the attention from loud cars wears thin sometimes when you see every head on the street turn when you even feather the throttle and people jumping out of their skin on boost
