at the end of the day its an old car, there will always be little niggles like bad connections from old plugs, failing sensors, shit breaking etc etc etc its all part of the fucking fun i recon, keeps you guessing once you have it running right & you may have some hiccups on the way, you will love it to bits

the old dinosaur in my avatar went through about 5000 litres of coolant locating and fixing all the leaks it had when i first got got, starting from radiator -> waterpump -> than about 18 bloody heater hoses under the intake plenum/manifold, had the thing off & back on about 4 times, great fun, then there was the blown turbo gasget so had to tear down that side of the motor too, then the old chestnut "whilst this is off i'll replace that" so threw in new timing belt/pulleys,turbo's, manifolds, dumps, front mount, but that moment after taking it for a test drive & it wasn't dripping green fluid from anywhere... well that feeling is just priceless
