This link should work as the other one was off the Ipad -


Picked up a refurbished door the other day for £60 which isnt bad for a rust free door -

After we had the engine running for a while i changed the oil filter and oil just so the system had a good flush -

Got a pair of brand new door seals for £15 from ebay -

Not a very exciting update but oh well.

Managed to borrow a strobe light of my dads friend so we have set the timing properly now and it's sounds good.
Need to re adjust the tappets as they sound a little 'tappety' Ahaha
I'll get another video up soon.
