Put your back into in Ian you don't need an impact gun, just brute strength

 

Brute I have, but took most of the skin off my back trying mate!

Looks likeley I'll just get new hubs, ABS Sensors and shafts.

Shame the R doesn't have them .

 

Ian, that roof looks stunning. I though at first you had vinyl wrapped it and though hmmmm, OK.

Then i clicked the link, seen the screens popped out and then thought..... Come on stop drooling, your a grown man.

Excellent work

 

I did have a roof for sale but I'm taking it to its new owner on Friday!

 

It looks awesome in the flesh

 

Ian, i'd be giving it a nice 5ltr coat of black wax oil if i was you.

 

That's the plan. I also have the plastic engine and gearbox undertrays.

 

May take it to nice place in ooo rrrrr land to get it undersealed. Hey Ryan?

 

Come on down Ian,you know you are more than welcome in them there farmlands

 

Do you offer a group discount Ryan?

 

I'm sure we can work something out Tyron as it's you and Ian

 

Cheers Ryan, I'll speak to Ian and if you fancy doing two on the same day we can sort a date out.

 

Sounds like a plan to me Ty,let me know and we can go from there

 

:

 

Just let me know a good time for you both and we can make it a date

 

I know what you mean mate, when I took the gearbox out of mine, even with a long bar I couldn't remove the bolts but like Merv said, brute strength and a helping hand from a hammer came in handy.

Good work though on what your doing.

 

The rack is off!



I am still struggling with the bolts holding the wishbones to the chassis even with the impact gun I borrowed.

I am thinking that while all the rack etc is off why not get the engine out. Clean the bay up and make it easier in the long run.

Anyone have an engine hoist and stand, please?

 

Yep, but I may be a bit far for you. Unless Ty wants to come get them in his Vanimal??

That rack looks horrid, and heat will get the bolts out, as different metals expand at different rates so it should crack the rust thats welding them together.

 

Made a bit more of an effort today to get the engine prepped for removal.

Disconnected all the main parts and even managed to get the turbo shield off without snapping a bolt . Just the drive shafts and the box to disconnect.




Air con disconnected.


Drained the oil and coolant as the modine pipe and hoses, water pump and belts will be changed.


It's cleaner down there than I thought.

Financial ruin is in the post!!!!!

The current ProSport 52 mm Set (Boost, Oil Pressure and Oil Temp) with Flocked Facelift Classic Pod will be out and for sale soon.

 

Will look very nice Ian

 

Lucky you got some good advice on these Ian, I'd hate to see anyone bullied into making a decision.

Have you spoken to Jimbob yet about the engine crane and stand?

 

All he needed was a little nudge aye Ty

 

No mate, been busy with work and trying to sort out the runabout.

I'll drop him a PM.

 

What I'd be tempted to do is get the electrics running through an electrical military socket, that way engine in and out in minutes and unscrew the socket job done

 

Funnily enough Si, I identified those on the WRC Cars when we went to Prodrive a while ago.

I may be able to get hold of some, would look the danglies on the bulk head and be very original.

Like these through panel connectors.

 

Thats the one's... my mate Martin has an aircraft version that's quite something.

 

Does this mean you will make a 'loads to do' thread on the maybe up and coming new car Ian?!

 

I'll need a 28 hour day, with a 10 day week, and a 60 week year!

 

If only aye mate,I would have mine done by now if that was the case!!
