Finally a 6 pot....after eleven years. 2000 year, only 65k/miles , bought from 2nd owner which kept her in the garage for 2 years and I know both owners because I was waiting for this one to go for sale. She goes like a dream and I plan to keep her for a few years. Cloth seats, rear blind and leaking rocker gaskets...as usual.

The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

So I went to a friend which borrows a local garage at weekends, the plan was to replace rocker gaskets - as you see above it was a lot of oil in there :(

Then I saw a leak from thermostat housing... And decided let's get that blo..y tinker out and replace it...It was an unlucky decision as we couldn't replace it without removing the back of cambelt cover off  >:(  (Damn and thise blo..y six pots ) just to find that camshaft seals are leaking too

Now this is how it ends.... She'll wait till monday - can't get parts anywhere for weekends. Cam covers, cam belt, aux belt, rear springs and fuel filter are waiting in the boot to be fitted. Only bugger that has to make it difficult is thermostat..now I have to go to work in friend's twingo tommorow

Nice looking car and a colour which I think suits it.Will you be using standard alloy wheels or are you going for something different?
