    Too late now, you got the belt etc anyway. Gates stuff is the bomb (what I insist on).

    Sump looks cool. The laquer may go dull mate, but I'm sure you will notice before anyone else does.
    it's a C20XE not a fookin Redtop FFS

    funny thing is it didnt take too long to do,
    sanded it all at work on the orabital(sp?) then buffed it up,which was the harder bit,
    killed my back,
