final took her out for a little drive today for the first time in 5 months,and after spending a small fortunes doing the headgasket,pulling the bottom end out and replacing every gasket,seal even core plugs cleaning and painting the block,inlet manifold etc!and loosing heart many times,SHE put a massive smile on my face,forgot how quick she is!(only 370 odd bhp but it still felt quick!)

thanks to matt lewis,dan@rapid fords and stu for suppling various bits etc
