Sneeky wee pic until i get some more of the car 2day.....

Next week the rocker cover/cambelt cover will be getting re-painted.Either the standard factory colour(if i can find out what that is),or Arden Blue with a white plug cover.

Gonne give the car a good polish 2day and get more pics as its nearly looking how Kirsty wants it.

Not really problems as such.The ball ache was really making a bracket to mount the power steering pump and get it lined up properly so that the belt wasnt angled etc.
And he cudnt get it to run right but that was just common sense i.e the alt belt wasnt on so no power was getting to the ecu so all the sensors were going mad.2mins of headscratching solved that.

No my mate done it for me.
