h/gasket aint no biggie
stat could have stat stuck shut, with the heat head may be a big wobbly tho
gasket is Ł30, bolts are Ł10, mite aswell do cambelt while you are at it
personally i'd get a full built up head rather than use a cooked 1
u'd be back on the rd in no time

I had this discussion the other day, dunno if it was you?
But basically I was in much the same situation as yourself, things always going wrong and every spare penny I had was going on just replacing parts / repairs, had no spare cash at all.
One day summit went wrong, and that was the final straw for me, so I decided to get myself a run about, to try and build up some cash and get the car done properly.

keep going
i've been in the same boat. spent five grand on my first one. it blew up twise in as many months. finaly got it how i wanted it and running sweet and sum punk stole it. i'm now on number two three weeks down the line and BANG yet another engine. Stage three on the way with cossie management 300bhp by the summer. Keep your heads up boys and keep smileing. Before you know it the summer will be here and you'll be struggling to keep the fooker cool again ha.

get the fooker sorted mate, you'l feel so much better driving about a car you've got back to its best than a car that you bought because you gave up on another one......

Chin up mate had my S1 since July driven it twice it's broke down twice too, me & my bro had to push it half a mile home in October
Got some stupid notion about selling it for a while after that, but it soon blew over...
And you know what? Wouldn't change it for the world now
In fact, looking for an S2 to swap with my MR2 Turbo now!
