Was bored for once today, waiting for mr tesco man to arrive! So decided to wash the car by hand for a change!

Thought i'd take a few pics - inside still dirty though! Also, back on 15's again, handled like shit with 17's, and tires were cheaper!

Cheers guys! Tis very much 449 though!

Daz, did the steering wheel a couple of years back for my 19, but didn't like the airbag steering wheel on this one, so put this one on 'till i can afford to buy a momo jet! It's not as bright in the flesh, it was just well sunny yesterday!

Bodywork does need sorting though - did you notice i omitted the picture of the other side?! Arches have been done previously, but wasn't the best job and they need doing again. My dad used to run his own bodyshop, but doesn't anymore. Would've got him to do it, but the paint system is changing to water based at the moment, and we ain't got the drying equipment for that unfortunately. Pain in the ass!

What`s wrong with your coolant? There isn`t enough of it.

I was waiting for someone to comment on the coolant!!! - Good spot old boy! :)

I've got a tiny tiny coolant leak - can't figure where it's coming from though. So i've been topping it up with water - hence coolant has been getting more diluted. & now it's all but gone. It is at the right level, but you can't see 'cause it's water now. Must top it up with the green stuff!

Hehe, ok. :) You have more or less the same engine bay as I do, I also don`t have heatshield and sparkplug? cover on the engine.

Daz, did water pump when i put the willy engine in, so defo won't be that! It's just a tiny tiny trickle.

Yeah it's a tweeter fella! Put in by previous owner - personally don't think the best location as the bloody handle is blocking it from where you're sitting!

why has it still got a 16v exhaust manifold on it.

Engine didn't come with a willy manifold and downpipe. It's possibly on my list of 'to do' things! Some people seem to like these manifolds performance wise, and some people think they're crap!
