Absolutely love driving this around but..... I have decided it needs a touch more go. Currently trying to source a 1397cc engine to modify and drop in the hole. Hopefully, all being well it'll go in easily with a few parts swapped over from my current engine. Ill see what I come up with on the hunt, would be nice, if I find one, to add a few bits to it if I can find them, maybe a fruity cam or something.
Ill try and find an engine first, it'll be for the future as I don't want to risk starting a swap now and not making it to RRG

What a fun thing. Like the spoiler. THe cars looking nice enough to start thinking about sorting the paint a bit? Maybe, I enjoy having the outside like it is. I don't flap about parking it or using it. If I was to get it all repainted id only fret That said I have started to look at replacement panels from the continent, maybe over the winter ill look into it more.

few more pics miles are rolling on and nothing major to report. Does seems to be a little moan/groan at the rear, sounds rotational. I may look into wheel bearings next.

Fitted a new rocker cover gasket this afternoon along with setting the tappets. Doesn't sound it in the video but it's loads quieter and smoother.
