Little update time. Been running quite well recently with no major fails to note. One of my driveshafts is on the way out but that's about it really.
Been meaning to sort out the oil return from the turbo since it was first fitted as it was always weeping a bit of oil. That got worse last week and the hose split and covered the arse end and anywhere i parked in puddles of oil. Fitted an actual new return from ebay and threw out the old radge up.

New sticker.

Then stripped all the bits I wanted off The Mrs old 1.4.

What happened to my old engine.

Timing had jumped after the pulley seized and valves had whacked pistons quite bad, big end shells shot and just a bit of an old, coaled up, leaky dog. Could have been sorted but a newer engine was cheap enough not to worry.
Then got the back axle lowered and re greased with thicker TBs.

Pins and bearing were good enough.

With new lows. Think I might go another 20mm on the front.

Thanks for looking. All comments welcome.
