Final decision just to keep saving and when we do the engine rebuild, do the Valve stem seals and Rings all together. At this stage is not to much of a problem because i only drive the car in the weekends realy, so not a major issue.

Update


Dougs a wee smokey. A mate had a look with me at the rocker cover, it seems that when they painted the rocker cover they didnt seal it properly.

Current modifications.

Doug is fairly standard at this stage which is good.
Modifications at this stage:
- Whal penis intake + cheap repco air filter.
- Lowered suspension (poo jamex springs)
- Wee stereo
- XForce Headers
- Nology Leads
- Cheap GP Thunder headlight bulbs.





That mark on the front right of the bumper, thats a custom modification from the previous owner. Custom bumper!
