not alot mate im gonna need a clutch (any recommendations?)and replace the rear crank seal before engine goes back in then get the injectors re-furbed.
would like to think it'll be back in this year but its not looking likely.
got some more pics to share:
Looking good Jeff, i've always used AP paddle - first was a 6 paddle with a standard plate and the one in this engine is a full kit - my mate had an Alcon 6 paddle and that felt like a standard clutch

Regarding clutch i had A.P 6 Paddle, if you want it to feel like a normal clutch, with no judder, make sure you get the flywheel skimmed. Will Drive lovely.

more pics from the painter:
What did u use all to fit the arch kit ? Looks great
They've been put back on like they were originally, I supplied the plastic clips that push into the wings and stainless steel screws, and the painter put on the double sided tape.

thanks for that rob.
car is back from the painter now so i thought id share a couple of pics,cars a little dusty as ive not had a chance to clean it yet but you get the idea
tank painted also:
Now the real work starts, how did you get on with the mouldings, are they a little rippled or is it the camera angle? i know my doors were a right bastard and overhung the door edge by a couple of mm and had to come off which wasn't easy

Chris a couple of the mouldings had been off before, i noticed when i went to view the car, they are slightly rippled but ill live with it, I got the painter to re-fit the mouldings and the kit as it was a job I didn't fancy doing. Ive now got the door glass, seals, locks and door handles back on hopefully the weather will be better tomorrow so I can get more done
Brilliant thread Jeff, just spent over hour reading it,
But has scared me a little as am thinking of doing my 4i and not sure I'm up to the job now lol
Love the fabrication you've done yourself wish I never dropped out of my fabrication/welding collage course many moons ago!
Hat off to you mate, blinding job
Good luck with the rest of it
Ash
