Not good news im affraid. Emmissions were miles out, it doesnt seem to be firing properly on cylinders 1 and 4, and plug 4 had some oil on it when we looked at them. Think the headgaskets gone.

Also, the brake master cylinder tank seal has a leak.

There was a few bits of edge trim etc that could have been done on the day, but not worth it because of the emissions.

All in all, not a bad fail, could have been worse.

Big big thanks to the boys at Saturn for all their help and time. Really appreciate it!

Best bit so far: Getting it running
Worst bit so far: Cutting steel for wishbones and engine mounts.
Most annoying bit so far: Generator packing up half way through welding.
