so after painting the engine I decided to paint inside the car & engine bay blue this was a paint in the cunt but got there eventually only taken 3 days lol here's some pictures http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/laird1991/media/Mobile%20Uploads/_78-1_zps8f0fced4.jpeg.html?sort=3&o=1 http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/laird1991/media/Mobile%20Uploads/1743508_676690595721915_1584465765_n_zpsbbc72461.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0

three days later a finally fitted the engine gave it a full service all new oils new filter & plugs got her running for the first time in two years but sounded awful was reving hight and low so a got some advise on here & someone said it might be the spark plug cap & arm inside so a changed this and it ran spot on :) here's more pictures of the the car after all fixed http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/laird1991/media/Mobile%20Uploads/545973_629899227067719_299222123_n_zps82aa30a3.jpg.html?sort=3&o=26 http://s1153.photobucket.com/user/laird1991/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140507_122433_zps0a4033b2.jpg.html?filters[user]=139833125&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=0
