So this happened today, engine out
3 of the trumpets fell off
Gunna get a little tidy up in here but on the road for April, hopefully!
Spanking new goodies , tank and megajolt
And running a g60 box when all back in, just cleaning it up for a lick of paint.
Got a top fill
Rad cheap
As hell, some
Different alloys hopefully but April looks very close in time

Whilst it was on the road last year I didn't deem it to be anything to look at so trying to make it respectable now, and make the conversion look slightly neater

Started on the box properly and have it a lock of paint, was a pain of a job!
An started stripping engine for painting, swap alternator setup, find oil leak.
Suspected leak (was on cambelt side for sure,
Next is the fuel tank/rear beam next week at some point!

Been at it this weekend disaster! To do fuel tank had to remove rear beam, ended in tears,
Both sheared so
Gunna have to weld some new uns in place and patch the hole near sill aswell , in a way I'm glad its happened so I can spend some time under there and do it rather than rush it all
Back in… Positive note, fitted new solid steering rack mounts
Also fitted an insulating may to my steering rack from lagger on here, il get a pick of that!
This is how I got my car high after I was mad at it

Underseal etc, so the under side looked good… Had to get nut extractors on the nuts though! No threads were visible at all so kinda knew they would go…

Some keen eyes will notice the difference on the rocker cover
And rear beam, no compensator valve as I'm sticking a remote bias valve in to prevent my back end locking up as it used to!

Then run one
Line to the back which tees into each disc, I had a lot of locking up with 16v servo and only 239's up front. Il be doing mine in the next week or so once I've welded it up matey.

No need for tears.
This is the way of MK1 living
You will be bored If you wouldnt have this kind of "problems" with your MK1.
Dont worry. Go for it
