That picture's a photoshop.. the wheels are on my mini, which is only a summer car... sooo.. as soon as he's hibernating.... they get to live on the Volvo! ha
The salt will probably kill them though....

Got a decent pic of the new bumpers on now... they have been polished, just leaving the scuffs on the corners, but I took these photos before that! ha

Updates
I've been reading a really old thread about the diagnostics port on the strut tower, so I thought I'd have a go. I got;
Misfire cylinder 2
Irratic RPM signal
External temp sensor (which I suspected)
Going to have a look at the temp sensor tomorrow, and price up a new dizzy cap and leads!
Evening well spent!

Today.... I saved my 480!
I was looking at a replacement engine as those around me had tried to convince me mine was scrap... so... ever curious... I decided to take my cylinder head off, couldn't do any more damage! ha
Start with one... scarily dirty engine...
Head offff... pain!
Not much damage to the pistons, these are the worse of the 4!
Ahh... that'll be why there's no compression then!
Onto the bench... stripped down in about 15 minutes or so
Ready for the machine shop in the morning!

Soooo, I've started putting this back together todayyyy, mainly as I'm sick of having to walk from the end of my street every night because this is infront of my garage! lol
Reconditionnnned ;D
Mmm, schmooth
My personal favourite... fourth in... might keep that one
I've stopped at the moment because it's frustrating me... got the head on the block and all the dowels in place but I can only get two of the head bolts to take... grrr... the rest dont seem to want to 'bite' at all, I've taken it off and re-aligned it 3 times, as you can tell.. I have very little patience...
