Always wondered why sellers insist on showing themselves in the reflection in the cars bodywork when posting photos on tinterweb......

At least this one's fully clothed. ;D
I'll have you know that that pasty white belly has taken years of dedicated work :P
Oh it has but I always think I look better in reflection  ;D

Got to love a close up ;D

I'm thinking 2nd to 3rd solenoid maybe. Gears change fine but 2nd to 3rd hesitates sometimes and isn't as smooth.

Looking at the engine pic it's been messed about with

Coolant pipe from header tank to plenum incorrectly routed

Only appears to be one vacc pipe going to the front, there should be 2 - vacuum feed for the tank, and one back up to rear multiram

Worth a good going over :y
