Bit hard to tell from that shot mate, looks like a very light anthracite though, almost silver!

Did I read you want Cesaro's too? I have a spare set with centrecaps

That pic make it look lighter. I think its ford mercury grey. Its either that or rover gun metal. I cant remember what I picked up in the end

I do like cesaro's but have no funds at the moment so going to refurb the gsi's. Plus Im planning on keeping it near to standard as possible

One wheels is now done. Needs to be flatted back and polished but going to leave it for a bit to go solid.

Car is just off the jack so looks like a tank.







Also got to drill and tap the hole for the centre cap bolt.

Well I lost all compression accross all four. Got the head off yesterday to find that I have a few bent valves. Will get pics later on. The block is now all cleaned and the bores seem to be in mint condition, no scoring or marks what so ever.

New head is built up and also cleaned, just waiting to get a new head set to put it back together.

Shopping list for tomorrow:
Oil
Antifreeze
Cambelt kit
Water pump
Head set

Bad Times
