Hmm...abridging for purely vital mechanical rebuild costs

New Head for above: £50
Parts for new head: £50-70
Group N Centre Section + Fitting: £60
Front brake Rebuild costs : £40

Harnesses: £50

Total = £650 ish purely on stuff that needed doing. I havent really done anything that wasnt vitally important, but it desperately needs another rear brake rebuild, but as long as it passes the next MOT, that can be put off...... Thats only on the 1108cc/1242cc.

Car = Money Pit. Thats the main reason Im still single
