3 Door Cosworth , New Spoiler !!! 15/5/07
Heres the story , nothing like some of the great restos on here but basically trying to tidy and get it as best as i can get it but as its working in the street and in my garage its weather permiting
Timing was wrong and looks like on ispection ive bent 2 valves
So escuse to do some mods and the head gasket which may have been failing
Me and some mates are doing the work mainly NUTTIN RILLA off here , cheers mate , as he done his own recently and goes well
Heres some pics anyway people
Head off , freezing , brrr
Then to the garage/hut/workshop
Starting to strip turbo/inlet etc off
And a bit more , and off to powder coaters
Cleaned the head up a bit , to get rid of oil and grime
Thats it for now , will get some more updates as they happen , these are with my camera phone so sorry about quality , any tips advice welcome

Cheers euan , hope so
Stoo got the blues for a good price mate , lets just say that selling my greens should cover them
Bit of an update , 2 suspect valves are out and there bent to say the least pics will follow tomorrow , need to get the rest out now but they look great so far
Also the head looks as if its had a bit of porting , looks quite trick actually so thats a big suprise , will get pics up soon
Bored and decided to give my turbo a quick clean , only spent 15 mins on it but i think come tomorrow i will be quality
Turbo
My cam cover when it came back from powdercoaters
After a bit of elbow grease and a few beers , pictures dont do it justice tbh
And bought these to cheer myself up

LoL
No at the moment mate , the turbos done about 800 miles at 1 bar so would be a shame to upgrade it just now , But you have first refusal on it
