vtec2011 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 Replaced the fuel pipes today. What an absolute nightmare to do and the sub-frame had to be dropped with wasn't too bad. Still got the brake pipes to replace and other bits and bobs before the engine goes back in! I've also got a mint fuel tank coming next week from a MB Breaker and got an new oil pump. I'm getting really excited now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtec2011 Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nice job dude. Looks great. So what's the plan with this??? Rebuilding the engine that failed??Thanks mate! Yeah I have already rebuilt the engine. If you go back a page, you'll see. It lost compression on either number 2 or 3 piston and the valve stem seals were a gonner.... I was going to B18 it but I have such a soft spot for these engines. Plus I always wanted to rebuild one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 Not really progressing this week. Just more parts coming off Coilovers, hubs, bottom arms, top arms are all off to get cleaned up and resprayed. I will get pictures up tomorrow, shes looking really sorry for itself haha. Today I was peeling off the old underseal and come across the dreaded rust To be honest it's not too bad... but I'm no welder so it's a job for somebody else!

My boss is pulling his hair out as he wants his ramp back.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
