mk1 16v project

Is there not any way I cud use the fuel system off that or wudnt that work?

no need to worry now anyway, spoke to crazy quiffs and they have a genius idea ill show ya all what it is when i get it........

anways i got a few more bits come in the post over the past couple of weeks, there are other parts i havnt bin able to take pics of but i shalll put them up soon….

 but anways heres wat ive bought so far

got a new steering rack/ track rod ends/ bushes



new 100mm driveshafts



ive bought a supersprint exhaust system and this is the last of the set



a set of polished  nuts/bolts/washers for the enigne etc




also i started cleaning up the bottom end of the engine the other day aswell

glad you can get past that minor oversight lol keep up the good work this will be cracking when your done

Matt

masked up the engine ready for etch primer earlier





then gave it a coat of etch primer







but before i started sprayin i noticed ive got a few little holes in the core plugs!!!!!!!1

heres a few more pics of the engine etc etc and bought some gasket paper n a sum gasket





i didnt like the way the finish came up on the head when i sprayed it black onto bare metal so i striped it back and then etched primered it agen and then decided i was gonna spray it silver insted lol


















also started the boring task of fillering n sanding and etch primered the scuttle panel aswel
















lol this is my attempt at covering the bay while i sort of the scuttle panel lol





i bought one of these tis weekend so it wud make my life easier puttin everythin back on the engine without scratchin the paint etc



i think i single handedly have been keepin halfords afloat over the past few weeks this is about half the amount of spray cans ive bought since been doin the engine bay lol

cleaned up this the other day heres a before and after pic (btw wat a mission it was puttin back together, there was a stupid amount of bits that makes this up)lol

before




After

That's a transformation! What did you use to clean the grime off?

Cheers buddy, just some bug n tar remover from halfords and scrubbed it down with a brush then gave few of the bits a lick of paint, I like doin before and after pics cuz can see how much the work pays off after

heres a few more things cleaned up and painted



















oh yeah this is that box that crazy quiffs had made for me it saved me a lot of hassle

did this earlier with me old man

oh yeah i thort id take a pic of the bay agen ive started putting stuff back in it also

(i know the servo needs turing round i ent got chance to do it yet lol)

Great work fella, she's going to be a nice car.

I like the look of the air box you got off crazy quiff and I might order one, have you trial fitted it? Does it fit well? and what do you think of the quality? etc.

Cheer buddy , um yet to fit it mate but there is a plate that that comes down and the bumper bolt holds it still but they told me they had two made and it was fitted to a cabby they sold ( if u have a look at on there website ull see it under cars
For sale) as for quality then it's good mate, the hole on the top of the box needed a bit of tinkering but other than that it's good mate,


I dnt know if they'll do another mate cuz wen I asked they sed they had summat made but this was a while ago and the last one I had but if they might be able to make another ull have to ask obv lol

helo can you tell me where you bought the supersprint pipe from what goes onto the backbox pipe cause ive got the same exhaust but won it on ebay for 30 pound haha thanks louis

Supersprint.com mate
