jet wash will bring them carpets up like new ...give them a good going over in all directions then hang up on the fence to dry , sounds savage but works a treat 

All ready done steveo3002 thee amount of sand And grit mud mc fries etc that came off was unreal. 

Rear boot lid has rusted behind number plate fixings.  So cut out rust and welded in me metal. 

Took both wings off and checked out for rust etc cut out and replaced, epoxy primer 121. Top coat with gravitex. 

While wings were off and waiting for ap lowering kit, i took struts out along with arb, steering arms and lower arms.

Replaced all drive shaft boots while all the front end was out.

Out with the engine as it had head gasket problem and had a bad knocking on bottom end.

While struts were out I had removed more rust and epoxy 121 and fitted new Ap lowering kit,hub bearings and back plate.

Looks good, you're doing a nice job on the work too!

Brilliant work, no shortcutting in site. Can tell this is going to be a nice one! 

What engine is going in

Thanks jake and wizardmanjm @  Kiran_182 I would like to say a gt lump or at least 1.3ltr but could not fine one so for now it's another 1Ltr with 50,000 on the clock.

Great project.  Great spec on the Genesis.

While i had the dash out I noticed that under the battery tray had rusted through. I cut out rusted area and new metal was welded in.The area I could not get to I used hydrate 80 by Bilt Hamber.

As I removed the rad and fan I thought it be good for a rust removal and a good coat of epoxy paint. Spent an hour cleaning the rad fins with compressed air and the amount of crap that I removed was shocking..

New lower mileage engine got a clean down and paint with a few new parts, cam belt , water pump , plugs , leads , oil filter etc.

very nice. Did you blow from engine bay to outside to clear radiator fins? 

I've seen a comb to straighten them but thought it would just push dirt further in. 

 

Thank you. I removed the lot from the car and left it soaking in warm water then blasted all the dirt out with compressed air form both sides.
