Looks good. I would like to sand blast all the parts under my saff and get them powder coated.

adam151082

Cheers Glenn, im not poweder coating though, just tough old spray paint.

Here it is painted now.

adam151082

Ok bit more has happened but ill wait till i get some better photos, this is mainly just to ask if anyone has a hub grease cap i could buy and to recommend Greame Goode brake lines, they came yesterday and the quality is top, and they're very responsibly priced.



Also the grease cap if anyone has one for me please

adam151082

Ok so its been a while and progress has been slow, found out Amie (my girlfreind) is pregnant with our first kid and ive also just been plain lazy. Today though i got my brake calipers back from Biggred and theyve done a great job



Also managed to get the front suspension assembly 90% buit, the compression strust are just temporary till i find somthing better



And a couple from the back

adam151082

still need a front hub greese cap if anyone has one

I found one without any dents, had to chuck it in some brick cleaner to clean the rust off.





It has some pitting though, let me know if it's any good to you.

adam151082

Nice work there

adam151082

Ok so ive finaly got her back on all 4 wheels, unfortunatly the powersteerings not working but that just a excuse for a half day at work on a warm day. Is there anyway of checking the pump?

After nervously letting her down off the axle stands i drove her out and gave the garage a real good hoover and clean and took a quick photo before closing the door

cheers guys, im saving up fro some coilovers now i think

jason_nike

Looking good

adam151082

Hi guys, so i bought some Gaz Gold coilovers and im having abit of a issue and woas woundering if anyone else has had this problem? Bassicly where the bolt goes through the hub and shocker the bracket is interfering with the hole so the bolt wont go through.
Now its not a massive problem for me to sort as luckly i work in a machine shop but has anyone else had this issue?



They do look rather good, shame they not the colors you see online when you look at them though.

adam151082

Well i managed to get them fitted and the car rides alot better and on the coilovers, just need to get the car corner weighed now and setup on the coilovers.

adam151082

So today i gave her a good clean and headed out with my DSLR for a couple of pics, rides soooo much nicer on the coilovers

Looks very nice Adam, would have looked better outside of St James though

adam151082

Yeah i dowt it Jeff haha

So i managed to get myself a front Anti Roll Bar so ive had the bit and pieces zinc plated and powder coated, just need to order some new bushes

Does anyone know what thread the nuts are so i can order some new Nyloc ones??



And ive also got this little Lady in my life now, she's 4 weeks old today




Im off to get the Anti roll Bar from the powder coaters now so ill put a picture up when i have it.

iTrader: (1)

Or how cute is she. Cangrats to the both of you.

Isnt one of the big nits for the roll bar opposite threads???

adam151082

Thanks Glenn, and theyre both right hand threads on the ARB

I picked up my ARB in Gloss black and it looks spot on, hopfully have it fitted soon but theres no real rush, need to order some new bushes first.

I picked the H13 ARB as ive fitted the 17" wheels so hopfully they wont catch on the original RS500 splitter, i seen a photo in a thread on here with the difference in length H13 vs H14




And heres mine all shiny and new looking.

Hi just reading your thread the rear coilovers are the ok when jacking car up or do they need helper springs

Robmatheson

Great read. Very inspirational build. The attention to detail is awesome!

MedFin

How much that gap might be in millimeters?

adam151082

Looks about 5-10mm

adam151082

Ok so its been a while since i could get in the garage with just having a daughter (and a girlfreind) to look after, but as its Valentines day id thought id show my baby (the Sierra) some love.

The main job for the morning was to get it back on the floor and that ment bolting up the anti roll bar so with that done


Id took it for a quick run out in the snow and its alot of a nicer ride than the Compresion struts so theyll be on Ebay soon, i did notice the tyre was quite close to the splitter does anyone else have this issue?



Also if anyone has a bit of Windscreen trim for the Passenger side please drop me a PM
