cheers man - I meant to get back to ya about that pm.
Il have to have a look at that. Im getting raped with the Euro to STG at the minute.
not much happening, started to clean up the oil return pipe feeding into the turbo and the manilfold. Few more coats needs on the manifold.
Also cleaned up my distributor and replaced the cap and rotor arm with genuine Bosch.
I am looking for a rubber hose that runs off the turbo is anyone has one about that is not damaged,

Shell coming out of her home for the past 6 months and was moved to a nice home today. Shell was stone chip primered and then Shultz also. She will get a cutting/buffing again once she is up and running.
Big thanks to anyone that has helped so far. Totally chuffed

Been a while since much has happened with stuff on and summer holidays but the project is back on now.
Picked up a nice book to add to the collection. This book is mega mega rare to find, its out of print and go on ebayfor about Ł100.
More bushes to add to the collection
Couple of lidl specials just have in the tool box
Dismantled, cleaned and painted up the metering head, this is the MFI unit.
Metering unit all rebuilt back up
Done the altenator too - will prob change the bolts on it too

That was a bargain man - do u use it much? Im not loving the lack of pictures but there is good stuff in it. I find myself picking it up most evenings for ten mins
Still picking up parts.
New old stock headlight adjusters
Right control arm with bushes - need to pick up a left one
Again more new old stock - plan is to get all orginal stickers back in the bay
Worst nightmare is doing elec work - just dont have the head for it. Stripped out the car alarm (Clifford which is now for sale), and began seperating what I could. Every wire and connecter is getting checked and cleaned with white spirits. I need to rewrap my dizzy loom as part of it is fried.

working away on this in the background.
Cleaned up the fuel acumalator.
Gave the master a clean too. Decided to stray away from the norm and paint up the cylinder the same colour as the body. Might not be to everyones taste but I think it goes well. I will be using a Escort Xr3i res bottle as I dumping the ABS system
Time to start on the engine next week all going well.

cheers Mak
Spent a few hours at the car yesterday. Everything is stripped off the red scrap shell except for the bare engine, gear box,loom clips, fuel/brake lines and gear linkage. Every other part, nut and bolt is off at this stage.
Cleaned up the T-body this evening. Turned out well and move my rezinced bits onto it.
Only pic I have before clean up
