The donor car had what I thought was a stage 4 but I think it might of been a stage 3 because the new clutch is a different design. It might be a little ott but if I ever go for more power it should be up for the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrichards Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 I wanted to get the engine back in today but the new sub frame bolts I ordered wasn't right. But there is a few rust scabs that I'm going to get sorted and with the engine out it'll be easier. Put the subframe collars in today, ordered what I'm hoping will be the correct subframe bolts and some polly bush antiroll bar bushes. Had a little issue with the oem fuel rail where it wouldn't sit flush with the inlet but some little rubber bushes sorted that out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you getting your new subframe bolts from out of interest? the two main bushes in the lower arms have been changed already I'm not sure on the others. They're what I removed from the donor car, most of the bushes had been changed on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmrichards Posted June 23, 2018 Author Share Posted June 23, 2018 started tidying up a few rust scabs, I'm not looking forward to what I'll find at the back of the car, it's looking pretty scabby! fingers crossed it's solid. once it's all cleaned back and treated it'll be undersealed. Also test fitted the intercooler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmrichards Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 bad news! whilst cleaning up the back end ive found some holes! does anyone know where I can get some repair panels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I got these off ebay but they haven't been fitted yet. By the sounds of @DeLaSoul 's experience they'll need modifying to fit the deck properly. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F272959091516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
