Looks tasty man, will the cam cover be staying like that or have you got more plans for it?

Looks great.
The black looks really good, something different to all the lairyness out there.
I like it
Cheers guys, not in to all that lairy stuff, little is more in my books, nice, clean and subtle

So I'm getting to the point where I have hardly anything left to do to the car now until I get the interior back next week, so today I finally sussed and fixed my left hand pop up issue! And now they both work again

What was it mate?

Swapped the diode packs out from behind the head unit to some from another car, and it cured it, hasn't melted the circuit board strip in the motor all day when usually it did it within minutes
Took the car for a cheeky drive round the yard at work today, clutch control is a bit iffy when you're sitting on a plastic box
Lifters are really noisy but I'm putting it down to them being new and the car currently running on mineral oil for the run in

Nice!!
Were the lifters in a bath of oil before putting them in?

It might just be me being fussy, but here's a vid of it running

They do seem loud although I've never put new lifters in a CA. I've personally not had tapping after putting used lifters in mine even at first start. Don't worry about the mineral oil, as long as it's the correct mineral oil it won't bother the lifters.
At the moment it's got shit cheap mineral oil just as a quick swish round, it's only been run for a few minutes on it, dropping that and putting millers 10/40 running in oil next week and once I've put 500 miles or so on it I'll swap to millers 10/40 fully synth
It was a very quiet engine before, but she did have 100,000 miles on her, absolutely everything internally now is brand new

Oil situation sounds good. I'm struggling to believe it needed new lifters if it was quiet before, unless they couldn't be separated. Sometimes that happens. PS nice blue gauges those.
Possibly, either that or he decided everything else was new so why not put some lifters in too
They're prosport evo premiums (you can change the colour white,blue,red,green) only thing that's a bit annoying about them is the temp ones are in Fahrenheit

That does sound a bit annoying, nvm I'm sure you'll get used to it.
Interior done

Amazing interior, is it just the original seats retrimmed?
