ahh well then thats barely in leek so its alright. i didnt know there were any units down there, just thought it was all part of that chemical work or IAE

So got the G stripped as far as it is going with the exception of the rear brake lines and the undersealant, one new job to look at is the replacement of the exhasut hangers...

Few pics of first coat of painting bits... ready to spend some more cash now... first I just need some more cash !!

Nice work dude! Look forward to seeing it in the metal some time.

Some proper attention to detail , loving it

Make sure its ready for the shows ad, would love to see this driving next to me while where both hitting boost

Hummm - so it seems to have happened again... I got so close and then started stripping back further again!

Been collating a few mroe goodies... on the list from the last week or two include;

- VAG 256MM Front Brake set up (to replace the Vauxhall set that I fitted a few weeks ago)

- PSD 4 Branch Manifold

- Toothed 65mm Pulley Set

Also modified the drivers side engine mount to allow easy removal of the exhaust manifold with ease in the future and removed 4 tonnes of mud from the inner arches to prep for paint.

Lots more cleaning up and removed the brake lines so that I can get the new lines made up...

Heres a few more pics anyway...

Oh No its happened again!

Queries on jobs to follow:

*Anyone have any recommendations for a good loom tape?

*Length of the required for the two rear sections of the brake lines?

*Anyone know of a set up for 200mm drums going spare?

Cheers,

Id love to have bluey - a supercharged and a turbo'd car would be perfect but finances would just say no :(

Quick update:

Got the new loom tape, stripped the old tape and re-covered, still need to do: Headlight/Injectors/Brake Resevoir

Props to Azbar (aka PhatAz) for adding a section to the PSD mani and cutting out the old lambada boss and replacing... sterling work as usual.

Sprayed the driver side engine mount and the rad fan cowling

Nearly ready to throw back together then its just brakes to finish and repainting arches and redo the underseal... cant wait to have her back on the road!

Cheers,

<3

Knew the lambda would be a serious Mcfail to remove. it would budge when i tried :(

How come you needed an extra section adding? Your exhaust too short?

Yeah downpipe dint reach the system... but good old Az saved the day!

Start putting everything back together tonight :-)

Ah ha.... just like what happened to me changing from that 4branch to turbo downpipe

Ill be up again soon to check your progress
