It was not to be!It all started out so well, Car was stripped, everything was gathered together for the coming day. I just could not wait! I took my brother in law out for a spin to show off and get some fuel so that there wasn't a rush the next morning. But i could not foresee the problem that was about to raise its ugly head.

All ready to go!



But whats this



Well thats Retro off then! :'(




At first i thought it was the Water pump gasket as i could not see the source properly in the dark. The next day i had a look and water was pissing out of the front of right hand head. Never seen a head gasket go like that before.
So now i have to get all the bits together and wait for the week after next for the garage to be able to do it!
I was going to do it myself this weekend but everyone is saying that the Heads will probably need to be skimmed
