is anyone pulling a engine out christmas day?lol

 

am gonna give mine a clean later, possibly grind some valves in on a spare head too lol

 

Good man cant beat playing with the car on christmas day

What car you got now mate,4X4 cos

 

vectra daily drive will be getting a clean, valves on the head will be geting ground in for that too. 155,000 miles now and got a rattly tappet. so jsut gonna swop the head over for a fresh one, new gaskets etc...

got an ebony black saph cos 4x4 am doing a resto on over the next year or 2, gonna get the shell mint then get a decent spec motor and running gear in it, wanted reliable stage 3 but thinking jsut go balls out T4, decent inlet, ecu etc.... will jsut take longer to get more cash together for a bara box and diff's etc....

Just need to fond out the best bits to get really then go for it

 

Sounds good fun and money

 

yep already been out fixing my fez going to eat then going to start building my engine so its ready to fit

 

I may go and fit my carbon door cards lol

 

its funny i hate watching tv, when its not raining the strange thing is i cant think of any jobs to do on the cossie its running mint!!

 

it was going to be sensible money, but when you have a mate with a a garage with goodies such as massive tarox 6 pots, AP's, ians old getrag box out the focos, nice harvey motors etc.....

you can't be doing things by halves lol jsut gonna stick all my spare cash aside, get some coilies, compression struts and TCA's bought, then spec an engine and get that built ready for T4 power.

 

Look foward to seeing it mate

 

so do i PMSL

need to tackle the biggest task first, get rid of any rust. oh foook...... lol

 

its a rare day a man says that.
lol

 

go out and give it vast amounts of pain then lol

 

Saying that, now i have a socket machined down, i may go remove the head

 

I'm outside working on other peoples cars if that counts?!!

 

Bit sad working on our cars lol. But me and dad have been out working on the van project today. Loom all in.

 

i wanted to be working on my project but cannot due to bad weather freezing the pipes and causign a flood in the warehouse

 

missus vito'd my idea of welding up my mums escortGTi

 

was going to go and do a little bit. but not feeling to great to be honest. so might have a go tomorrow.

While i was outside with the bairn playing on his tractor i checked the oil and coolant and topped up my window washers for boxing day drive to the in-laws in Paisley lol

 

Yep i was helping RST on the van
Just putting dinner on now

 

I was tempted to go fit my coilovers but may do it sunday.....

Funny enough, i wont be! I will be mainly working out how to feed up on as much turkey as possible, and consume as much alcoholic beverage as my innerds can cope with.

 

Well i was supposed to be fiddling with the engine cluttering up the hallway...but then i started drinking...so will leave the engine alone for today! lol
