    I've gotta change the hydraulic tensioner tonight (can't find anywhere that sells cam lockers so that's a pita)
    Then it's just safety cert and rego... should have that done by Tuesday and then it's just a good wash!

    Been sitting 3 months and bits of the garage ceiling had come down on her lol

    So its all back together, timing is reset, hydraulic tensioner replaced (old one seemed fine but still peace of mind knowing it's new)

    Should get registered on Monday! I'm all set and 100% in for the bonfire 2015 now!

    WINNING!

      Yeah but I haven't road tested mine yet... and being on jack stands for 3 months there's a lot of creaking in the suspension!
      Gonna wait till it gets dark and go for a spin around the block.

      On my private road of course.

      Updated first post... need to re - host pics too but can wait till tomorrow...

      Putting 160kms on her every day now driving too and from work. Not ideal but no option at present.
      May look at putting her up for sale soon and getting something I don't care so much about.

      Currently sitting just over the 113xxx k mark

      Lol... its 81kms each way on the motorway... 100/110kph

      Asked the Mrs about getting a run around... 3rd car doesn't really appeal to her.

      We/I will move to the goldie eventually then it won't be a big deal
