after lots of messing about I discovered that one of the brand new cam followers I had fitted was jammed solid fully open stopping the valve from shutting giving number 3 cylinder no compression, once this was fixed I set about fitting a new alarm, lots of fun wiring I then set about getting an mot and running the car in, however after my first 500 miles and an oil change it was apparent that the car was still tapping more than it should be I then went through a month or 2 stage of changing tappets one at a time trying to shut it up, after a while of this i was starting to get pissed off I also changed the wheels at this stage, the bk's had started to de lacker and I was offered a straight swap for the ones I have now.

at about this time the turbo also started to let go was getting lots of smoke out of the exhaust, however as a high point I was able to use the car as my wedding transport which I really wanted to do so was pleased that the car was at least working although tapping and smoking





Im the bold one on the right
