Sounds great Danny. Looking forward to the pics, I think I know the colour you are on about and think it could look great (very jealous of your ability to respray cars at a reasonable price). What colour are leather you thinking about and are you planning on changing the colour of any of the interior?

still waiting on the gearbox.

[Danny Kierans]

i spent all day saturday fitting engine and gearbox back in. started her up and there is a load knocking noise from the front head like a load tappet noise..and engine light is on. removed the rocker cover and checked cam box and rockers all look ok.. enigine was sitting for about 2 week with no oil in it..any ideas you guys... i did let it warm up to see if it was oil feed or pressure but no change.

[Danny Kierans]

found the problem. while fitting the cam box i guess i broke 2 little plastic ring clips that hold in a nipple from the rocker arm that sits on the top of the valve.so my fault . lol. ordering new one's tomorrow from mitsubishi then ill have to set up my timing belt all over again.

[Danny Kierans]

after checking not really my fault. tappet laser screws were brittle from been over heated or oil not changed enough.
ordered these today from camskill mitsu couldnt get for 2 weeks but camskill had in stock.
