im building the 1.4 up and selling it because i need the money from it to fix the 1.6 which i want to keep because its a 1.6 not a 1.4
and the money from the 1.4 will be able to get some mods done on the car and fix the 1.6 then at the end of may i will get paid from work so more can happen to it
it makes sense to me

rush job its take 3 days to get it back on the car so 3 days prepping and painting thats more then enough time to paint something james, just because i don't wait a week inbetween each coat like you doesn't mean its a rush job

cheers mate i think it only looks good in some lights other it just looks faded grey lmao
i know it will never be a mint car but i might aswell make it look as good as i can tbh and it actually goes with the white wheels i think not that they will be on for long anyway but they will do

right well as people know my head gasket went and i've finally done it now, took ages because i didn't know anythink haha, i didn't take many pictures because i just wanted it running again.
the noise in the video is from the plastic bottom cam cover as i put a new one on and this is the old 1 which is why it never made a noise before
i know it shouldn't even touch it but it does because as we found out it had been bodged in the past so the only thing left to do was return it to how it was, it is safe.
edit - next is paint arch's and mot
