I would use tigerseal as its a hell of a lot better! can get it off ebay for around £6

havent heard of that one buddy, my brother has some silicone i can use so i will use that, i dont have the money to buy any, im a right tight ass at the moment

This is currently what she sits like now thought id post an update, its been a while. still along way to go. but been abit setback because shes had alot of engine troubles, getting exspensive, was going to actually break and scrap her but ive changed my mind, something about her:)

The car looks amazing, i was shocked when i saw it up for sale

it is no longer for sale dom, i have no choice but too keep it down to insurance being SKY HIGH on ANYTHING, even a 1.0 micra! so i may aswell make the most of it unfortunetly i am on £3/hr which is insulting for the amount and nature of my work (HGV ROAD SWEEPER Mechanic) anyway yes the headgaskett went about 3 weeks ago, got the head skimmed + new gasketts, new rocker cover as the red one was bent and leaking from the cap. it has been on the road a week (running like a brand new car with so much more power and response) i decided to not rag the car around after the headgaskett went, so belive it or not i was actually driving like a granny when the engine blew (65MPH IN THE SLOW LANE!) when i find a new Head hopefully a 1.6 8v it should have a new lease of life all together:) i may even fix this thread as A HELL OF A LOT has been done since the last update

Is that even legal?

Was just about to ask that, it's below minimum wage so it can't be legal

Are you getting cash in hand off the book?

Very first meet! i dont know why but out of 1000 cars it did get some attention even though the splitter was hanging off!



My tracking was so bad it stripped my tire to below the wires! so i borrowed my brothers Rota's for a day, i now want 7j-8j wheels!
