thanks man. it doesnt look to great in the flesh, the old red paint is starting to look a bit tired.
but at the moment its "power not paint!" as a friend put.

Well its been off the road now for a few weeks while i did the sump gasket twice! as is the case with the cvh. Then went to start it again and it wouldnt idle. Somehow whilst doing the sump gasket my brake servo had split!! (gotta love these old cars) then with the whole det thing getting worse and worse I'm starting to lose hope.
Came so close to getting rid of it last week after the tools went flying across the yard for the 1000th time! 3 years ive had it, and i just want it to work :'( lol
But i keep saying to myself, what would i get to replace it, and the fact ive just spent ££££'s on the engine rebuild, new suspension etc... it just seems silly to give up.
