Then after a few months new wheels and stainless steel system.

So was fully rebuilt with the 33mm valves, skimmed, presure tested and a headgasket set for £87 quid.Bonus.

Next on the list was suspension. Firstly i bought AVO adjusable front shocks and ran these for about a month
http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo82/GAF2_photo/SDC10643.jpgalong with all new bearings and shot blasted and painted struts
http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo82/GAF2_photo/SDC10618.jpgAlthough these are quality shocks i was not happy with the ride height so after a few beers one night i bought a full set of TA Tecknix's coilovers. Again fitted them with all new bearings, bolts and so on.

Then i decided to change the inside. More pics to follow.
