better recap that, when i said wheels, i meant steering wheel, i paid for the mags

[AGI78]

well the car should hopefully be back on the road in the next week or so. havnt driven it since november when i managed to blow both head gaskets, (getting a heap of water in the sump) and bending the exhaust valves. has been assembled for a bit but had been tryin to find a miss and we have traced it down to 3 lifters not pumping down and in turn holding the valves open, anyhoo, i have ordered new lifters and it should be going again soon ! this it what i have been rolling in for the last 6 months lol
