nice and all that but seriousley whats the point
you get so far and at the end its all a wast of money really
the amount its gonna owe you you could have had a serious car
but dont get me wrong it will look fat but when you get caught out in the rain and it gets covered in shit then youre gonna get well fucked off
bad enough laying under the poxie things repairing them let alone cleaning them
thats my thoughts anyway
just look at rappidcossie

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
It is an EEC IV head (small turbo escort cosworth), you'll notice the water temp sensor is also on the other end of the head (far left) compared to the non EEC IV heads.
keep up the good work

dont get me wrong i do understand why you did it
all i was getting at was if it was mine and i went to them lengths and it got chipped or damaged ir a cv boot split or oil leak then it would be soul destroying

well i have had more soul destroying things happen to me in my life so far to worry about the under side off my car when it get dirty also dont forget once its nice and clean its easyer to clean when it does get dirty as there is no thick oil/dirt under there to start with and a jet wash off and a wipe and its sorted ( i hope/wish )
