well after nearly 7 months of planning and saving etc its ready to go ahead and get started.
Waterpump went on the 1.2 16v engine (been leaking for ages!) pissed coolant everywhere, waterpump bearing is completely screwed. engine overheated, was running very low on oil at the time due to the oil leak lol (had been filled up that week too!!) engine sounds like a bag of nails.
anyway on to the fun stuff....
