ok this is gonna have to be in stages,,,,,, mainly cause i aint finished it yet

pictures also might not mean anything but ill try to get better ones

first get some old ropey shed of a car ,,,,, heres one i found



i really hate them "temp" pins that have been on there over a year now

time to take em off



bit more like it

now open bonnet,,,,, and make a nice brew,,, look at the car and think " should i really bother with this "



now i need a gearbox and,,, well diff due to the ratios i wanna change to !!!

oh look there one is



lets take a look at see how bad the rust is on this old shed





well a car cant rust when its loosing THIS MUCH gearbox oil,,,,, guess the cat never pissed in my car after all pmsl

now is there enough room,,, in my "slightly smaller than a double garage"





now, how to i take out the driveshafts,,,, always a pissy hate of mine,,,, oh look



what a cool idea ( take note ford) roll pins holding in the shafts,,, they will be PISS to remove

right,,,,, lets get started





ok ill add more pics,,, as i got carried away and just started unbolting stuff when i was under the car,, doh !!!!

 

lol "take note ford" the renault 5 turbo's was useing that years ago mate

 

hey i never done a box in my old renault 5,,,,, was too busy changing the fucking engines !!!

 

tell me about it mine started knocking when i backed it out the garage so i pushed it back in lol

i fitted a new engine and sold the car. a week later it caught fire

 

my old one in 6 months of ownership done 5 engines,,,,, the last time i parked it up and then someone nicked it for its monaco leather trim and left it dumped down the road,,,,,, and stayed there till someone removed it

 

right here some random pics that might give some info how piss easy the job is ( notice im still in a happy place with it

right i took these 2 off, thats starter and slave



took the wheel off,, yes i just took 1 wheel off as im a lazy tart



took out the balljoints,,,,,, AND FUCKED THEM UP WITH MY SPECIAL TOOL,,,,,,, that seems to fuck them more than the old way i done em,,, just does it quicker pmsl




the linkage was also seperate



the prob shaft also taken off



ill put that over here till i need it again



i erm,,,,,, took what ever this is off,,,, and this time i would like to mention im also available for hire to take photos at special ocassion such as weddings of ugley people and birthdays for children who dont want to have there old birthday photos show to there new boyfriends/girlfriends(or both) to embarres them,,,,, i take great shots that people wont have a clue what they are looking at



these dowels i was worried about are piss easy





its seperated,,, just i forgot to take something off pmsl

anyway here is how the car looks at the min


the magical floating car,,,, oh and there is ALOT LESS room than the photo seems to show,,,,, trust me on that pmsl

oh and remind me tomorrow to remove this aswell pmsl



right,,,, time to close the bonnet and go to bed me thinks,,,, long day tomorrow

 

right,, today i got the box out and erm,, tried to get it back in with no luck pmsl

though i have fitted the clutch











wonder wich end of the box was leaking oil ???




oh and advice,,,,,, remember to take out the gearbox oil before taking out the box,,,, i was COVERED in it

 

the reason why you are breaking the balljoint covers is because you are using the wrong tool the one you are using is ment to be used when it dosent matter if they get damaged.

you need one of theat mate http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tie-rod-end-li...item20b0adbcb9

 

you till got all them lockups?
got a mfi loom hidden away in there at all m8?

 

ahh thats why,,,,, though on a nicer note PLEASE CALL ME BACK ONE DAY !!

i need a hand getting it back in

 

nope,,,,,, only got 2 of em now i have to pay for em,,,25 quid a fucking week each the robbing bastards !!,,,,, if it wasnt for the fact i have electric in them ( free electric might i add) then i wouldnt bother with them,,,,, you should see how full the other one is though,,,,,, no looms though im afraid

 

ahh sorry dude

 

cheers again for popping round and helping

thank fuck the gearbox got back in ok,,,, gonna head back down in a min and start the diff now grrrrr

fucking cars !!!
