i keep asking him about it but he wont get the finger out of his hoop lol!! he took the original engine out to slot in a 450bhp engine but never got round to actually putting the other one in so its sat for ages in his garage doing nowt!! shame really but he wont sell it the way it is cos he can just throw in the old engine,get it detailed then sell it for a lot more than selling it the way it is.
if i was kenny i would keep the golf as well its a proper tool like lol!! i wish i hadnt sold it

bigryrs · 07-04-2009, 07:27 AM

Garage doors arrived yesterday afternoon and im offshore so my mate will have to fit them himself lol.

bigryrs · 22-04-2009, 08:55 PM

Cheers for the comment mate!! what will happen if i leave the oil return the way it is as i cant really do anything else with it

bigryrs · 24-05-2009, 08:13 PM

Fitted some more stainless bits i bought and put everything back together after fitting my exhaust manifold!!
I also started work on the floor inside the cab it was a total doddle to scrape off the shit i just used a blowtorch and scraper so next is to finish buffing down underneath then get it painted

bigryrs · 26-05-2009, 10:33 PM

I cracked on with underneath and had to buy another grinder for buffing underneath with the wire wheel!! thats my 3rd grinder ive bought lol.
After everything was basically down to the bare metal i realised that there was quite a few hidden rust spots in the rear inner arches where the seams join nothing major but im gonna go the full hog and replace the inner and outer arches at the rear and cut out all visible rot

any advice from peeps who have done this repairs before would be a great help cheers

bigryrs · 31-05-2009, 08:31 PM

came to my senses not breaking no more lol
