camo_78 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 pictureless updates are useless i know,but ive started aquiring manual conversion parts.to be exact all i need now is a flywheel,pressure plate and clutch plate,slave cylinder and maybe clutch fork(with pivot).so far has cost me under 500 bux so not complaining. motor wise GTB motor is ripped apart,head gaskets were toasted well and truely.just checking everything before it goes back together,hoping and praying the heads arent warped or cracked but we all know that prick murphy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo_78 Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 small update,started glassing front kit back together today before doing work on the cortinas engine bay.should be as solid as now yeah right please excuse the tape,its to stop the resin making too much mess,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo_78 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 pictureless update,however will have pics tonight.currently fitted motor is coming out today,spent most of yesterday unhooking everything,just mounts and exhaust left to do now before the lift.if i can find the old head gaskets (out of motor going back in)ill throw pictures of them up,they were the worst 1s ive ever seen.gearbox wise its going manual this time(at least one thing can be done off my list ),im using a 94 Wrx box thats been converted to RWD,so should make things interesting and probably hairy,but its all fun and games.oh,and im front mount i/c'ing it too,mainly in the interest of not getting heatsoak like the factory top mount does.just waiting to hear back about piping for it atm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo_78 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 picture dump gtb-now with cheese grater new(well,reconned)long block current lair anyone care to translate all these numbers??(besides EJ20,lmao) flywheel fitted for clutch new block in tomorrows mission:fit gearbox and all underside parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camo_78 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 ok,so achieved 50% of todays goal,lol.clutch pivot pin was being a kernt so spent a couple of hours swearing at it before a mate who owned a bg5 gt wagon came round and got it out in about 2 seconds flat.so gearbox is in and all bolted in place,gearshift is a little sloppy but i think thats shifter more than anything.tomorrows mission is get driveshafts etc in so i can tow the damn thing home to finish it,grandparents need their garage back as i have both the wagon and cortina in there at the moment .all going to plan we should be driving by next weekend.......yeah right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
