shes was in need of tlc, but she was solid underneath.
Put her in for an mot and it only failed on rear tyres rubbing, coz i had put the alloys on. Then i bought a 1.4 sr which was hanging, but it had a good engine,high lift cam,branch manifold and uprated shocks. I started by fitting the front seats , engine ,springs and shocks and it flew. till i was comin out of college and one of the followers snapped, popped the collets out the valve spring so the valve dropped and smashed the valve guide. So now im just waiting for a big valve head to come.
