few more update pics on tuesday, had a good going over it yesterday totally strippin it, still a fair to to do still tho

[Fudgey]

as promised, some pics from sat when i took to the car with the angle grinder

removed all this



to leave me with this



i couldnt quite get to a nut on the down pipe, so cracked out the angle grinder to lop it off, heres steve having a go. i didnt get any pics of when a disc shatterd and cut my arm to fukkery, soz



kin raaay, on its way out. going



goin...



gone!



next was to remove all this carp




and then i took the cage and dash back out



and then rip out the complete wiring loom







surely i wont be needing all this!

[Bodge22]

coming along nicely then, should be ready for the body shop soon

[mk2rstaff]

bit by bit your getting there mate just a shame you had to put it all back in just to remove it again but good work mate it will all be worth it

[Fudgey]

thats the plan

[Garage19]

Dan,

Remember those bulk head mods we talked about? I think you might want to go for them. Re-locating Col's thermostat housing is turning out to be a complete c-unit of a job!

I will have a measure up when next at Col's and give you some dimensions of the box you need to put in the bulk head.

Should be fairly easy to cut out / weld in.

Will the body shop weld it in for you?

Yep, Colins engine is in.

I think you will need a small box cut into the top edge of the bulkhead. Nothing too dramatic. It should be a peice of wee for a man with your skills. Just get a nice thin (1mm) cutting disk for your grinder. I might be able to get you some steel cut/bent if you get really stuck!

Your sump is cut up and sat in the corner of Col's workshop waiting for fabrication.

[Fudgey]

nice one dougie!!

im an expert with the angle grinder you should have seen my arm, i thought i cut the fukka off

i have got some 1mm discs so thats cool

how far is col off from turning the key then?

dont spose you can get any pics of the guys working on the sump for the mag can you please?

cheers boyo

[Garage19]

Fookin lethal really, angle grinders.

Dropped one on my shin a while back. Got it butterfly stictched up cos i was too much of a pussy to have propper stitches

He needs to finish his new inlet manifold as we lost the old one We think it fell out of the boot of the BM at brunters

New exhaust is pretty much made apart from down pipe.

Just got to order GT30, injectors and ECU this month and it should be pretty much there. Oh and make a new cambelt tensioner

Then she will be ready for mapping.

[Garage19]

Oh, and i will try and get some picks of your sump being welded up.

[Fudgey]

nice one mate.

once its all built up, colins gonna have to leave it in the garage for another year while i do mine

[seveneigths]
