All in good time marra, Want to make sure everything else is in order first ie. brakes, suspension, transmission and electrics before going for more power. Am going to run it as it was for the first few months, Then up the power.

Paddy was round yesterday sorting out my lighting in the garage for me. Have got 2 boxed strip lights either side that i can move under neath the car when needed.

Looking forward to being able to get started soon striping the rest of the car down.

Well after of months an months of piss farting about I have started working on my saff again. Finally got the bottom end and cradle out and can get on with cleaning the engine bay up ready for painting. Got some pics of the minceing about along the way, but hopefully the next set i put up should be of the engine bay getting all painted up. And will at long last actually look like i am getting some where.

Don't forget to replace the engine mounts for some that don't break in half

and also remove the circlip in the front diff so you can get the inner CV out

gym-rst

Like this mate, Other side was the same as well.



Cheers did not know how to get that CV cup out.

Just finished reading PF and all about your car looks ACE

Yeah mate thats the plan, I am going to slowly work my way backwards hoping that the front end was the hardest and that it will get a bit easier. I am hoping for her running for spring next year as if not that will be 3 years off the road

Thanks Dave, Just got out hospital today mate so not much will be getting done this week but call round any night will be in all week, your advice and knowledge will be greatly appreciated mate.

The wheelie bin just got used for the pics mate i painted it at work and stuck it in the oven to dry.

gym-rst

Well seeing as its a new year en all that I decided to get stuck right in to the car and start making some proper progress. So cracked on and made a start on the rear end today. Not too sure if I did it the normal way but managed an was on my tod anyway. The near side beam mount did not want to come out of its hole but after some jiggery pockery its fell to the deck. Everything came off no bother apart from a abs sensor bolt. Car looks clean aswell cant seem to find any serious bits of rust just surface crap. Anyways pics of todays messing about seeing as I not have not updated this for ages.









Might need a new one of these....



On the deck

















Thats all for today going to get it stripped on sunday and try to get the fuel pipes an tanks off after that one night next week. Some of the bits i have painted an cleaned up myself over the last few weeks.
