Had a busy Easter

Track log in yellow

oh yeah went to my parents and while i was there had a closer look at the turboed motor i am going to swap into my g wagen at some stage i found the cause of the loss of power the previous owner had and he was right it is a bent valve so i have to get a price on a head gasket set and a valve then i might be able to do something about the swap
