Thanks! I got some springs off Liam on here supposedly 110mm but unsure. It sits better now compared to
When I got it.
Update with the nova is will be putting one piston down the block and timing it up with plasticine on the top of the crown to work out what valve clearance is roughly. Looking at different cam specs at the moment want to see what will be best for me.
4602532
290 / 282°
252 / 244°
12.00 / 11.50mm
3.75 / 3.20mm

4602536
291 / 282°
252 / 244°
13.30 / 12.80mm
3.95 / 3.35mm

These are what I'm thinking off. Unsure to go solid with the lifters or not, means one peace valves and a differe t set of caps and springs too. Could be money used else where. Double springs on hydrolics with the right cam should be fine....for now anyway

Update Pictures of the Cylinder head.
Spec:
Ported and polished
Skimmed to raise compression
Steel lower valve spring seats
Double valve springs
Forged valve spring caps and collets
Needs a good clean and checking out, may have some more headwork done before its fitted.

Thanks for the comments on the beemer, Will be getting CSL wheels eventully when my mate decides to sell them
When I got the mo's I got so excited I had to fit them, and then I ended up actuly doing some work on the car!!
Fitted the new shoes
Along with the coilovers.
Then gave it a quick dust off and a clean up. The car is being moved out the current garage in the next week or so to have the cage welded in finally! and then off to have the full shell painted
Till next time! Bosh!

Update! Finally started doing the seem welding and plating up where the heaters used to be ect.
I won a welder on ebay at a bargain price, so thought id give it a go my self, instead of taking the car to my work and letting the lads do it properly...sounds stupid I know, but its practice for me and I can say I did it all 
Not a great pic.
