I remembered why I bought another one after taking it out for the first time since rebuilding it - smile factor is massive

While mine was in bits while I was doing the head gasket (took me 2 months, but it was my first attempt!), I was miserable.

Then I took it for that first spin, and realised that a) I'd done it, and b) it was worth the effort cos I was grinning from ear to ear.

Just dont think about it going wrong!

Nowt goes like them though,I just remember to have as much mechanical sympathy as I can especially changing gear.
I thought to myself the other day if this car was brand new with a warranty it would be the perfect car.
