Looks like it will return the second week in August !!! Cant wait that long!!!
-
Is the re-build due to a prang, rust or something more adventurous ?
-
a bit of all of them mate. got the car and previous owner bypassed expansion tank sensor. I went down motorway bit faster than 70, went bang, seized and burned the bearings out after it got a little warm. so decided to rebuild engine
engine out I noticed chassis leg was holed all round so binned shell. got another with less rust. or so I thought. so after rebuilding engine and chopping all rust out im finally painting it. once complete it will almost be a new car. hopefully
-
Blimey... best of luck with that. I guess it'll be a keeper after all that work
-
at least I will know them inside out
-

Wow. Looks great. Lots of work going into that.
All credit to you. :y
-
Thanks mate. Hell of a job getting a big lump in a small hole without scratching :y
-
Fantastic job and unique colour, she looks great :y
-
Great job on the engine bay. It looks like a text-book restoration job.
New brake lines are a nice touch, too.
I see that you have chrome-plated varios parts (camshaft-pulleys, SAI components, coolant pipe) and it looks great - what procedure was used to do this. Just one detail - the ending of the coolant pipe, where the coolant rubber hose is attached on -> it would be better if it was protected from chroming, as this surely has a lower friciton than original finishing, resulting in a higher risk of slipping a hose from it.
Also, I see that you used chromed pipes for wiring 'casings' -> did you reroute the driver side engine loom (starter, multiram, EGR)? As it originally goes at the front of the engine (just below pulleys) to the fuse/relay/ECU box. EDIT: I see now, the ECU box is moved below the windshield.
-
The cam sprockets and coolant pipes are just polished. So it wouldn't increase tolerances on sprockets and coolant pipe is stainless steel so shines up lovely.
Yea that is another stainless steel pipe that runs around engine. Loom is already in there.
Thought the fuse box would leave engine bay a lot neater if it was outta there. Battery also in the boot
-
It's nice to see how the engine bay is not very complicated any more, when stripped of all the unnecesary stuff.
It kind of looks like 70s muscle cars.
-
And that's the way its staying :y
-
so close to me why have i never seen this on my travels i was told about this being painted by roman just the other night.
-
You have never seen I cause last time it was on the road was 2011!!!! When I eerrrrr blew it up.
Yea roman painted it and has still got bit to paint. Good job he does but slow as
-
The car looks great. Is it painted OE Satin Red?
-
Nope. Its candy apple red mate
-
Bleedin ell! That looks fabulous, nice to see everything so clean, and things that can be polished, polished, things that can be repainted, repainted.
How I'd love to be able to do that level of resto to my old girl..
Keep it up :)
-
Its been a labour of love or maybe madness. But worth it in the end :y
