Also been reconditioning and painting other components

As you can tell the whole engine theme is black
Been quoted £60 plus vat for inlet manifold polishing (internal). So looks like i'll be trying that myself.
Also thinking lumpy cam but have to see how the funds are after ordering new gaskets and seals for everywhere

Ive also reconditioned the oil filter housing. Ordered my wrinkle paint for the inlet manifold and the rocker cover. New gaskets for everywhere, new cam belt. Took the cylinder head off Friday, during a powercut, with a headtorch. Thats dedication.
Really struggling to find a replacement rubber gasket/washer for the water pump. Anyone any ideas?

I got the paint from here http://www.burtonpower.com/vht-wrinkle-plus-spray-paint-black-sper001b.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=gb_feed?WbRf=GBase
Its a tad more expensive than some places but thats because its wrinkle plus not just wrinkle. The plus can withstand more heat

Wishbones on
front coilovers on too.
Front ARB was a pig to fit.
Put brake lines on rear axle.
Spent an age working out the route of the fuel lines but couldn't put on and connect due to needing some pipes :cry: . Struggling to find the one for the filler neck to tank too

Fuel tank in place though so one more thing out of the bedroom
