my advice would be keep whatever you take off (thats not broken) so it can be reverted at any time.

So gave derick a Oil and Filter change, also fresh coolant and flushed out the header tank as was manky. Also put a new thermostat in, not 100% sure its the right one as it still runs abit hot so going to run without one tomorrow see if the temps go normal then get another...
So found the manual for him in the boot, not sure if this was the last service he had but i thought i would carry on what the early owners started haha

Next is cambelt, water pumparoo, welding work then some mods :0
