Right




Sorry for stealing the above but it was just too good not to share.

I have been able to spend a good few hours today taking the car apart and it's been very productive
I have modified my airbox for a better flow of air (Thankyou Jas ) removed, boost hose, coil cover,header tank,cambelt cover, throttle cable bracket, ignition amplifier bracket and the cam belt cover riser bolts,painted the under side of the wiper blades as they are now visible in the reflection from the new wiper linkage cover
I don't think I like the wiper linkages polished or at least not the way I have done it so I am either going to A. get them polished properly or B. get them painted as I think this will look
I am replacing the coil cover as I cant be arsed to repolish it (see above ) and I will also be replacing the throttle cable bracket and bolts, the ignition amplifier bracket and bolts, the map sensor bracket, the screws for the header tank, the header tank cap, the power steering tank cap, loads of bolts that I didn't do last winter, the front light water jets in the bumper, the side lights, the indicators and the side repeaters-there will probably be a lot more but that was just from looking today

Without further ado, here we go
The new and improved 'Franco/Mike R' airbox mod





Header tank off










underside of wiper linkage painted






because of this





Soaking the header tank
Hi I'm Barry Scott







More bits removed to be replaced with new shiny bits







New thermostat housing outlet















The coil underneath the cover










the garage mess today





Looking down towards the driveshafts etc





A little bit of elbow grease to see how hard it would be to clean and ..... not too bad-should clean up very well





How I left it
