yeh it is cavalry blue. as for the wheels im thinking about keeping the trims and wheels for now... but in satin black and live with them for a bit cos i'm thinking black alloys at some stage but there are some other issues i need to deal with before i start spending to much on cosmetics
i'll keep you all posted though he he...
<font color="blue">[size=4]Ok ……… the other issues unfortunately ….it was as originally thought, and my worst fears have been now realised…
Mayonnaise type deposits under the oil filler cap……grey/brown oil in the dipstick tube having to top up my water levels by as much as 2litres after a twenty minute trip a very greasy header tank (water) although the car was running like a dream well as good as it ever has in the 300 miles that ive driven it………….
!!!!!!HEAD GASKET!!!!! AAAGGGHHH!!!!!………..
Well my mechanic managed to get the head off after about a day/day and a half of drilling the bolts out and swinging the car from his garage roof
And yes….. the cylinder head is knackered not from him I must add
So that’s where the lads from S&S come in to play……one recon, cylinderhead, one new bolt set, one new head gasket seal set, a new timing chain all and any other bits and pieces we may need along the way
so i geuess the wheels will have to wait for yet another day.......
I’ll keep you all posted as it all progresses……
