Maru-So

Ive got compressor and paint spray gun all sorted. Tonight i stripped off the bumpers and lights and started to mask the car. Ive borrowed a electic sander to make quick work of preping the car for paint!

yea man slow as. Just clean like below but probably higher and mesh wheels and a sedan. I would like to get the twin head light front. I would probably just do a 1ggte+ medium single turbo, injectors and fuel pump and w58 if i was going to do somthing.

Next job on the list Timing chain gasket!

Yea it seems rather obvious now have had it all apart no oil runs near the shaft so that couldnt have been doing it. it was had it anyway. ah yea i am. And fuck. So i need to get crank seal gasket/timing cover gasket? what the guy who i brought it off, said it was, was "when he got the timing chain replaced the mechanic ripped the gasket" he didnt really know tho.

So this is my first project and working on cars is realativly new to me, but i want to try do all the work myself so i decided to take a closer leak at the oil problem. We could visible see that the water pump shaft have a fair bit of play in it so i thought id pull the fan and belts off to get a closer look, Firstly i set up, Then i removed the fan cover then the fan and the fan clutch and the belt and the pully, And so i was left with this its was quite obvious the water pump was fucked so i decided to replace it. Amazingly enough repco actually had one instock. Because i have never done this before i went to the libary and photocopied the manual's how to install a water pump section. First i had to drain the radiator, this was quite messy Then i undid the old pump. and scraped off the old gasket which was completly fucked. Then i degreased the block side of the pump. I gave it a good clean then a very light sand. Fitted the new pump. I then re installed everything and refilled the radiator with water following the correct way. Initial drive, there was still a tiny bit of spray but i hope that was just from the degreaser on the parts i re installed. this is just a shot of all the crap we've ripped out so far. Ive also removed the toe bar and the sound deadening out of the boot. I painted the mesh in the grill and one of the side bits where it was white instead of black. Its now black! Cheers Grant

FEEDBACK THERE http://www.oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=12293 I picked this beast up on saterday. r21 engine t40 manual no rust to speak of but the paint is terrible. with 3 months wof and reg. After picking it up zeeb and i preceded to rip into it removing the tow ball rear high stop light the mud flaps and i chizeled out the sound deadending out of the boot. Its fairly slow and handles like a small boat. It also has a small problem with the waterpump/timing chain/gasket in that area spitting oil onto the fan and the oil getting spayed around the engine bay. Will fix that. PLans are: to lower it(quickly) Find some suitable rims Maybe do somthing with the exhaust. And repaint it white probably :D :D

a' bay bay! balla
