March 25, 200818 yr Author comment_235105 Hmm started pulling my motor apart today... pulled all of the front end apart and then proceeded to take the head off. when i took the rocker off i found that all the problem seems to be is that a push rod had jumped off its rocker has this happened to anyone before?

March 29, 200818 yr Author comment_235992 Yeah a mate and i did it. The blocks of these cars are quite light! and i don't have access to a crane! Ok brake booster off today... only thing left now is to take off the steering rack! Yes everyone i am painting the bay hence why everything is getting stripped! I'm painting the engine bay Phantom Black. then trimming the motor in red and lots of polish! should look good! also hiding the wiring and installing bonnet washers instead of the crappy stock window washers! Gas bonnet lifters and a pressure switch light for night time! And maybe a green neon behind my grill! Anyway here is another pic of the car atm! Report
