Toof the car out for a drive today very different drive to before, but felt good. Just trying to dodge all the potholes now as theres not much tyre to protect the wheels. Corners like its on rails now ive set the coilovers to solid, glad i didnt go any bigger on the tyres though because theres not alot of room under there now!!!!

Took the new wheels off and gave them a real good polish, they have come up much better now.

After a recent trip to a friends in the car noticed some oil under the car, on closer inspection i found the cam bearing had collapsed and taken the oil seal with it.

Going to rewrap the exhaust as the old heat wrap has started to come off, and also might have a go at making a surround for the air filter.
