Default Yip, Ive definitly blown the head gasket!

Typical!, only needed it to last another month and half, which is when the mot runs out. It was on its last legs anyway, so might start to strip it in aug/sept. Havent decided yet. Ummm, better start saving the pennys for a new one

Theres to many probs wiv it. Most of the seals need welding, front pillar is rusted, stem seals have had it, needs a new front wing, clutch is slipping so that needs replacing & now the head gasket has gone which has now made it undriveable. The list is endless. Its seen its day.
