[Quavers]

Todays update -

* Took the head off and checked everything was ok which it was
* Removed all the hoses
* Changed the rocker cover and casket
* Added the new hoses
* Added the Baileys dump valve
* Added the ITG Induction kit & Filter which required to remove some metal from the front but saves weight i suppose

Pics to follow and previous ones too

Cheers Dan aka Beaver, James and Evan for your helping hands

Nearly there boys and girls

Todays events -

* Changed the alternator which took the most of the time up trying to get it off and out but managed to do it
* fitted the alternator belt
* Got a rear caliper banjo bolt of a suziki vitra as mine went walkies but works a treat
* Bleed the whole brake system and filled the brake fluid
* Changed the oil and filter

Thing left to do before she is back on the road -

* Await for the new rad to arrive (this wednesday hopefully)
* 25th of this month order the exhaust and chuck it on
* New 320mm Momo Steering wheel to order
* Put the wheels back on and then fire her up
* Send her off to Azzy's hopefully to tidy the body work up

Having problems uploading pics so do it when it fully complete

Not long left now still the pocket rocket will be reborn and back on the road where she belongs

Saturdays Progress

* Bolt on the rad and re fitted all the correct hoses
* Fitted all the fluids level up
* Had to run round and get a new battery
* Place the battery in and then .... She fired up first time

Took her for a little drive to run the fluids round the engine but with no exhaust still (just been told be here in 2 -3 weeks ) she was running like a dream

Next is to wait on the exhaust and steering wheel which i think was delivered today and then set up all the gauges and then when i got enough funds full respray and body work done

Got so many pictures to up load i will just do them all at once as it take a while to add one by one on here in the gallery

#Anyone know the best place to get a full respray and body work done for a reasonable price ?

[Yellow Snow]

not sure about a full respray but westminster in ramsey behind ramsey bakery is good and cheap ive had a few jobs done there and there work is excellent
so may be worth asking about a full respray 2?

[Quavers]

Been awhile since i have left anything on here so here goes

Had the car running and no the big ends have decided to destroy themselve

So now recently purchased a donner charade thanks to trees help and i will hopefully seeing what wrong with that engine and placing an order for the nessary bits

Will keep you up todate when i can as i will be challenging it at the weekend

Well Well Well. looking on this project bring back memories and yes its still not running but getting there slowly ... ( Been saying this for two year by the look of things)

The engine is currently have the bottom end rebuilt with everything and i mean everything possible new thing getting put back in and replaced.

The body work is of to the shop to get treat,worked on and then resprayed back to its original colour

I can clearly say owning a 19 year old and trying to do it as a project is a challenge and finding parts for one of these is a nightmare unless you have a mega big bank roll hence why its taking two years as i don't

Once the engine and body is done i will be awaiting my box of tricks from spain and then the serious upgrades will be taking place after she is all run back after the rebuild

[Toxic-Motorsport]

Just received the new bigger piston and rings and now waiting on the balance shaft gear cog to arrive and then all three parts will be making there way up to ross to finish the final bottom end rebuild
