Well the car is nearly done now, had loads of issues along the way but im finally happy enough with it to tax it on thurs.

16 bent valves on the spoiler of my dead saph



Head getting torqued down





We re checked the torque settings on the cam caps because it was making a whining noise (which turned out to be the timing belt tension)
As we were doing this we found one of the studs for the cam cap had a damaged thread, we tried another m8 nut which didnt work so we re cut the thread which sorted the problem out.



Finally out on the drive, a mate of mine is coming round this week to wash it for me and she should be on the road on thursday. Got a few little jobs left to do.



Its been a struggle but we are finally there, loads of time and money later but iam looking forward to getting her back on the road
