SHGWAG Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Actually got sweet F.A. done this weekend. Friday got the battery mounted in boot & that's about it due to being drunk from thursday still Saturday pulled out dummy block, mounted coils, sorted fuel & oil fittings & hoses. Still waiting on the fuel rails to come back from engineers. Mocked up new radiator in the mounts we had modified on the original, wont fit with the factory electric fans, so will have to get some aftermarket slim fans. Spent most of saturday afternoon doing NOTHING. Was waiting on the block to be finished. Finally picked up block at 5pm saturday night, went to drop it in & found that there was no spigot bearing in the E-shaft so called it a day. Workshop was shut yesterday so no more progress. Hopefully today I can get hold of a spigot bearing & drop the block in tonight after work. This & the fuel rails are the major holdups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHGWAG Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Almost got her done before new year's then stores decided to close / I decided to drink for 2 weeks straight. Worked out how to retain my power steering & aircon, so a little bit of works gone into that. Have had to wait for some places to re-open (Today). Also had to source a second hand loom for plugs (air temp, water temp, crank angle sensors etc.) as my old ones were brittle as. So just a little fab work to be done, however, had to take car out of workshop due to customer's cars having priority, so will keep cracking away at her slowly. Would say possible start up saturday, with it driveable sometime next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLAWLES Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 looking good man the black centers are millons better, must feel good to get to this point in your bulid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Something about the red of the car doesn't sit right, I've probably just seen too many in black or white. Looks weird, also you'll be getting other wheels regardless I assume the blank paint just an interim measure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Red is faded from sitting in the sun for 2 years after previous owner blew the clutch. Yes will be getting new wheels when I can afford them. Painting those centres is just a quick jobbie (simple green to clean them, mask & bomb black. Managed to avoid any runs in the paint though. paint will probably wash off of the 1st wet day i drive it. These in white or bronze have caught my fancy: Have also removed front kit and will be slapping on the factory bumper for now. Slight hiccup, cant seem to find anyone who makes alloy mounts for radiator fans, so will have to make some up on the laithe on saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Ass Dragger Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Really liking how this is coming together, the only thing that IMO is Horrible is the "Demon Rotor Sports" window banner Remove that and you car will be Mack 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
