KiNK43 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Share Posted April 8, 2015 @Jayhoath83 don't get me started. He told me he was super ocd and was being picky when sold it him.turns out he's a prize plonker. Honestly don't know how car can go downhill so rapid and clearly doesn't know how to maintain a car. Aggghhhh.apparently building another that puts this to shame well yeah will do now.

KiNK43 Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Got a huge bag of bits at home now. Gonna get a few bits done Friday.. time is the problem now. Wanna get the gearbox of asap and replace input bearing and 4th gear.Given the exhaust manifold to welder. It's been pounded not just flat but inverted on the bottom so he's gonna chop out the bad bit and repair it to a good standard hopefully. Do slow going but will get there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiNK43 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 Set about sorting the crusty engine bay today. I stripped everything off and cleaned it all down. Then following the trend set on my deck ground all the rust off the front cross member and blacked it all. Also ground rust out of front chassis legs and painted them. Repainted the block aswell. Overall quite happy with the outcome looks decent. Put new rad stay and all new bolts in. Bumper is chucked on for now ran out of time. Oh no Sydney seagulls aerial bombardment 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
