Re: Cylinder head refurb

I know, I'm embarrassed to admit it
One scrubber removed and it took all of five minutes - I had a tea break halfway through

Engine Breather Mod

Re: rear seat
I believe the four door seats have rounded corners to allow easier passenger access but the two door seats are squared off to fit snug to the side of the car.

Re: Improved rear lights
That looks great :tu1: I used a different approach and fitted LED units into the reflector holders, it meant drilling the pillars for the mounting stud and wiring though.

Re: Garage lights
I fitted these Ebay panels a couple of years ago https://i.imgur.com/HKd0nNu.jpg And these strip LEDs to the workshop end https://i.imgur.com/G6BeajF.jpg So far no problems and they give off a nice even light.

Re: Brakes
