UPDATE:

Engine .. now found out why it taps, misfires and generally sounds like a bag of spanners
Just whipped the rocker off to change a leaking gasket & noticed that the cam shaft is fubarbed. cylinder 1 2 3 look fine where as cylinder 4 is completly worn

Pics.

Rocker off


cylinder 1


cylinder 2


cylinder 3


cylinder 4

Thanks guys i've tried to update the look & keep it subtle, im defiantly pleased with how its going

Charlton, yeah im suprised it still runs tbh lol i wasn't expecting it to be that worn i thought the tapping was just a sticky lifter hopefully i'll get the engine sorted over the next week .. i'd have done it today but havent got a cam kit and no where thats open stocks them

16V_1600CS, thanks mate its good to know people notice the little touches i've added to the car the dash is one of my favorite mods so far tbh

Nice one mate, boot lock surround makes a nice change to the rear

I did mine with Halfords rattle cans, not a bad match/finish:



although, I never refitted the badge.
