If she didn't have black wheels (a pet hate of mine) I would have carnal desires on Betty.

aren't smoothed bumpers and boot lids a bit euro for your tastes?? lol
the wheels are anthracite anyway and they have loads of metallic shiny's in too, i love them to bits - they are actually in much better condition than the wheels on the gt

Damn Big-boy, that sure is shiny

well she made it stanford and back again, just... eml flashing on and off and misfires, was really bad when it was warming up, got better as she warmed up (quite quick in this weather) but still eml flashing on and off regularly. All i can tell you at this point is its not the coils, or the leads, and its not the timing as i done all that whilst on the FF stand earlier today lol.
So when i get a chance next week i will just quickly have a better look and compression test it etc - will update when i know, far to tired from driving a cinq in this silly heat right now.

Great job on that bodywork, looks fabulous!
lol at the heat, yeah it's unbearable in the car, stinging hot!
pity there is no air con inside,so it's a windows down job
or what clarkson done on topgear with the shower inside

there is a cento air-con system discarded on my drive lol.. its in my opinion way too heavy to lug about for the few rare occasions that its hot enough to warrant using it in the UK - I was literally dripping wet from head to toe in sweat when i got back y'day. The cold shower when i got back was so immense lol.

impressive timing a car without taking the wheel off lol

not that hard, was harder getting the inner arch out without taking the wheel off haha.

There is another photo, think its Andy Monty's, taken from further back, i drew quite a crowd it seems - didn't really notice at the time. Think its one of his I already posted - gone a bit brain dead after all the heat this weekend

lol, yes very pretty indeed.

no i got work to do gonna finally order bits to read codes from a cento so i can see what the ecu thinks is wrong, its easier than swapping random sensors from the other car. Need to find out whats wrong before i stick the other head on incase its something that will still be there after the swap as that will be well annoying lol. And before taking it apart i will compression test it too just to check piston rings are ok before doing conversion to P75. I've got everything apart from a HG kit, clutch kit, and would quite like a decent manifold but its not necessary right away.
The head i got has already been skimmed and has new valves etc etc, i have honeymonsters injectors from before he upgraded them (known working injectors basically), got a P75 TB and TB spacer, got a P75 inlet mani, got a 866 cam, got P75 ecu and codebox with key.
