Had a little bit of work done:
De-grease, wire-brush and clean chassis. Re-paint with customer supplied paint.
Investigate and remedy non-working driving lights and 1 headlight including bulb replacement
Re-seat rear springs on dampers and adjust pre-load front and rear
Make-good and tidy wiring under bonnet
Strip, de-grease and clean both cylinder heads
Replace valve-stem oil seals
Port and polish heads
Replace cylinder heads with new gaskets where needed
Port match exhaust header pipes and wrap with high temperature wrap
Replace Swirl pot with stainless steel part supplied by customer
Fill with coolant and bleed cooling system
Clean flaking lacquer off alloy wheels

Couple of photos for your viewing-shows ShaunS3c's swirlpot off nicely. Cracking job-can't recommend this highly enough

Only snag is-went to collect yesterday but had to leave behind as the pressurised pipe on the top of the swirlpot has a split & pisses out fluid onto the alternator when hot!
