ok your thinking just add a some bits and get her set up and ill have more power but the old girls now showing 180000 miles and never had a rebuild or a turbo for that matter so thats why!
my machanic says if your going to spend money on it then you may as well start from scratch! and i can see his point so now ive got the hasel of looking for all the parts i now need
but by the time springs her she should be freshley rebuilt hopefuly around the 200bhp mark and then ill be happy
Mine is away already - doing this has it's pros and cons i think: the car didn't like being stood and i was fed up without it
but it is a good time to ensure jobs get the time to get done - as when mine was still in use, i just wanted to be out in it
Mine had done similar miles before it's new engine
You could see down past the pistons when the head came off
I loved getting all the bits ready for mine, was good to see it come together
Good luck with it
