hi im new to the impreza but got offerd a wrx for a price i couldnt turn down but the engine has rod knock. crankshaft or shells.

so just going to rebuild. here is some pics of the car and where i am up to now. please let me know what you think

 

 

 

 

not hanging around!!

 

good job !

 

i see your showing off your mechanical skill by having a brew on the slam panel

 

well done,
glad to see its not being broke for parts

 

Great, as above it's good to see yet not another classic being gutted for bits!

 

Not wasting any time are you, looking forward to seeing the progress

 

cheers for the comments no not hanging around doing as much as i can when im off work. and my liitle girl is due to be born in 6 weeks so getting on with it while i can lol.

i got the car for 600 of a mate who bought to turn into a track car. but i told him it would be a waste so i had it off him will put all pics up as i go along.

 

yea that takes alot of training

 

gave the bay a good clean today it comes up ok

 

Nice to see another early classic project

 

Thanks it's getting there.

 

ok well today my mate karl stripped the block to find out what was wrong and just as he thought the shells had seen better days i will let the pics do the talking.











thanks karl a few beers will be coming your way.

 

Seems like you got a bit of a bargain there mate. good job.

 

Keep up the good work !

 

If you have knackered shells you need to check the crank tolerances and the rods. Normally one doesn't go without the other unless you are very very very very lucky

Coming along though. As someone else said you have a bargain. looking forward to see this thread develop

 

thanks for the comment. i am going to get the crank checked to make sure

will keep pics coming
