Got my gsi back this weekend after it been off of the road for a few weeks due to hitting one problem after another.
I would first off like to thanks all of the people that helped get its sorted.
Thanks to warren.g for doing all of the work including replacing the cylinder head and changing the timing belt etc as well as all of the other problems you came across  so if anyone needs any work doing in the SE area i can highly recomend him 
Also thanks to willay for doing me favors and been messed around, sorry about that and thanks again  I also got willays barn yard tour
Also thanks to dave a for the speedy delivery of the cylinder head
So been out in the car today and gave it a wash. So nice to have it back and it drives superb  heres the compulsery pics 
Just got a couple of minor jobs including getting the exhust to sit a bit higher etc then its job done for pvs
Although i may be getting my hands on some coilovers next week

And that is how it should stay imho. Even keep the orange side repeaters
Did GSi's come with colour coded arches etc?
