Hardly. it went back off the road when the cam shaft wore out (which i knew was approaching just not that soon) so i uprated the brakes which majorly needed doing, stripped and serviced the turbo, anf changed the sam shaft.

As soon as it was done and re-started it was smoking like an absolute cunt which at the time was so co-incidental i could only assume i had done something wrong to the turbo (meaning i had turned a perfectly good turbo into a knackered one)

As luck would have it there was a valve guide dropped on the head which was the cause....not sure how long it had been like that and i will have an answer.

Then i intened on having the paintwork done as its very tatty, and seeing as its a very strong car and has never been welded it seemed worthwhile, a big job though and getting round to it needed a bit of loyal dedication, and now its been broken into twice in the last year, i just really dont have the patience anymore, and now aswell as needing an expensive respray, i also need a £250-£400 roof change seeing as the little cunts that broke into it the second time slashed it all up
