Replaced fuel filter as was leakin
Never sorted outt trackin and this is what happened haha
So then these turned up
Also ordered these as my headlights r poop
And finally got fed up of seein my windscreen wiper arms lookin crap…
And now look new lik this
Now pretty much paid for my engine, so once I hav a shopping list of all the bits I need I guess after x mas it should all be dropped in and workin,
My mate who's doin it reckons can get old engine out and new engine in within a weekend
Sweet
So until anything else happens this is how it sits
