Here's the cause of my problems - a very leaky turbo!



I've managed to clean up the Samco's and they don't seem to have suffered too much with all the oil pumped through them! I also managed to get the turbo off the manifold this weekend which sounds easier than it was. Just got to decide how much to spend on the replacement. At the moment I'm thinking about a Stage 2 hybrid but am open to suggestions. I'll be looking to uprate the intercooler at the same time so will hopefully see a nice power gain.

Need a bit of advice on how best to smarten up the front panel. I'm at the stage now where I've got most of the old paint off but as I'm restoring this in a council garage I don't have the luxury of any running water or elctricity! Therefore, I'm only gonna be armed with a paint brush and can of spray paint. What do you guys recommend paint-wise to smarten it up and keep the rust away??? Should I go the Hammerite route or opt for something more substantial. I've had a look on www.frost.co.uk and there's all sorts of goodies on there, but I'm not really sure what to go for. Any help would be gratefully received......I'll get some more pics up later this week.
