Cheers Andy and Mike

Thoughts are possibly -

1. Change full fuel system
2. Full service incl timing belt at garage with sump and rocker rubber gaskets
3. See how its running and then decide but if ok
4. Lower suspension
5. Remove engine and clean, refurb and renew
6. Paint
7. Bling

That's the outline plan

Let the MOT and tax run out after summer.

Thoughts ??

Engine running rough again when I just turned it over 😁

Nothing I can do until funk-star gets my fuel parts for me ???

Then once fitted I can take it from there.

Got my agreed value through eventually and happy with it amazingly :-)

A couple of bits, boot card clips and black washer hose.

Tell me about it, I'm ok at buying the parts but its the learning in how to fit them that's the problem :-(

I done the coolant system on the Sportline so that's fine, the garage is doing the service as I want a stamp in the book and them to do the timing belt. The fuel system will be a learning curve :-)
