there's that 1%

 

more wire brush and Hammerite action, this time the drop links.



thermostat housing is now black


I was going to put the wing back on as the CAI hose has arrived but the duct has come unstuck from the wing on one corner so a little delay there. No sign of my ARB mounts yet though

Got some more bits coming that were outstanding...think I have lamost everything now

 

Some of this weekends work, glad I had better weather on Saturday...Induction hose connected and flattened a little to fit nicely with the ic pipework...


Wing back on and hose cable tied in place


ARB mounts plated and cleaned up, not the prettiest things but should be allot stiffer...


A nice blue and yellow ensemble; all fitted and torqued up


HT Autos diffuser to fit during the week, then the back end is finished

 

Hi Ian

For something like you are doing with cold feed,we are going too,but definitely will look good and will do job nicely

Blue ARB looking very nice




Jura

 

thanks Jura

 

Serious wagon man, keep up the good work

 

Cheers Baz...serious wagon...liking that tag allot

 

TT Wagon is better Trails and Tribulations

You foamed up yet ?

 

funnily enough I am known as TT or Trail Talk by some of my old riding friends

rubbish weather so not yet...but I did buy some of the cheapo halfrauds stuff as advised...will let you know how I get on with the ST

 

Your welcome dude

 

your don't look half bad either..slap some pics up

 

Been busy with non-wagon stuff but managed to get the tow point sorted so i can fit the diffuser...predictably I won't be fitting the alloy tow bracket...its just not in keeping with what I'm trying to achieve...black tow strap i think

Fresh from the breakers


Post wirebrush and some more of that fab Hammerite


Rusty old thing.


I have sourced a brand new OE water pump and an AP Organic clutch & lightened fly wheel, pics to follow...need to sort some wire to finish my loom and drop my sump off with Frayz to get the boss welded for the return to sump sorted this week. Off to TA at brands tomorrow, just not the same in the ST

 

Good work mate. I'm finishing early Monday to wednesday this week as I'm on a course.

 

Looking good and good work as well



Jura

Brand new water OE water pump...


Thanks to Frayz for getting my return to sump boss sorted


Repainted and ready to go.


Back to whence it came; off to SMG tomorrow, may not look much but there is quite a bit of cash sitting in those scruffy boxes. I'm not going to add it up

 

Sump looking good,its custom Sump Ian?

When you are hopping get engine back?

Jura

 

Jura, not sure there are a few issues that need addressing first. I'll spill the beans once I have have some definitive answers...its a baffled sump, similar to the Lateral version. There are some pics earlier in the thread as I've had it a couple of years

 

Steve and Mo at SMG...wow 'nuff said

 

Sounds good mate. I take it you got on okay?

 

Hell yeah...will give you a call over the weekend and explain. Suffice to say I arrived at 3:10 and left at 5:20 having run through EVERYTHING and been given a tour of thier workshop. Big blimming smile on my face on the way home

 

As you are said these guys are legends



Jura

 

I've been throwing an eye onto this thread since 3 years or even more and it never gets boring!
Sump looks interesting, what is it planned for?

cheers
Nico

 

Thanks Nico...it's just a baffled sump with a -10 boss welded to attach to the oil separator can

 

This is a great read, just taken me about 2 hours! :-)

 

It's taking trails a bit longer though
