New GTV owner

[Smiffy 0]

Hi all been a member for some time now but only had a 156 GTA....................................until a couple of weeks a go i brought a 2.0 GTV in azzuro nuvola (2000). Needed some love and attenion so it had a new clutch (release bearing very noisy), new aux belt and pulley, new gators, new power flex rear end and new stainless powerflow exhaust and sports cat. its very throaty

wash and polished it a few times but paintwork still not glossy so today i used a clay bar on the whole car then polished it with autoglym super resin polish then used autoglym high gloss protection, looks awesome

here are some pics(none of them are after todays cleaning marathon)

How did you fixed that?

[Smiffy 0]

Not fixed yet only found out today, thought it was maf then coil pack, changed both with no luck. Garage did compression test then put camera down and then saw a burnt hole in valve Head is gonna be taken off and suction tested, new valves new head gasket new Cambelt and associated parts. Expensive
