    The colour won't be to everyones taste, but had the paint and it matches the petrol tank so





    While the engine was out, we changed the cambelt, water pump, and clutch! Also steam cleaned the engine and painted the block








    Nice and new





    Old vs new








    Front end fitted





    Engine back in, wired up and running nice and smooth!



    Anti-roll bar back on







    More updates to come during the week!

    A couple more updates today

    was the usual patch of rust in the battery tray so, cut out;



    and underneath in the footwell



    After;





    Exhaust fitted







    Then, the part I wasn't looking forward to was looking underneath the sideskirts









    Quite bad, but will be sorted this weekend..

    A patch in the passenger rear arch



    Also lowered it 60mm and put the 3 spokes back on..



    More to come

    I cant believe for the price of what sills are you have put god awful patches and that crap underseal on it.Would have been such a better job to replace the sill completely.
    Rest of the car looks well.I like what you have done with the anti roll bar
