Late last year we discovered the engine was leaking a decent amount of oil so a full strip down was in order. Replaced practically every seal on the engine and cleaned up the head a little while it was all apart. Made the car significantly nicer to drive and freed up a decent chunk more power in the process.
Drove down the south coast for my grandfathers 80th about a month ago. Had a nice steady run down but absolutely rang it's neck on the way home. 30degree day with full throttle most of the way up the clyde and she overheated
Sat on the side of the road for a while to let it cool down and nursed her home with no real problems from that point on. Later that week we discovered that the radiator was partially blocked. Ordered a new aluminum radiator and all appears fine so far.Got a flat on the way home the other night. Looked rather silly for the day or two we had one of my 14's on the rear, but two new rear tyres today saw it back to normal. Also got an alignment today too and wow did that make a difference. I always assumed the twitchy-ness of the steering was a by product of the non-powered steering, apparently it was just a terrible alignment.
