Haha, cheers bud! As I keep saying, it's far from finished in there :cry:

As far as the Rattle Cans go, you can keep them :evil: My spray guns will be coming out for mine soon :smug:

just got it running, went to the supermarket (about 6 miles away), as I parked I smelt a burning rubber smell. checked under the bonnet and all the oil had leaked out at one corner of the head cover, and left a big puddle on Asda carpark. no oil in dipstick, towed home by the mates bora. felt so good to have it back on the road for about 10 mins.. dammit!!!!!  :angry: :angry: :angry:
