Still loads of parts to get sorted.. now getting front hubs blasted and painted new bearings then have to look about decent shocks - its all money now @toffs yeah 50 a pic sounds good!!!
cmon chaps (n chapess's) lets do a charity bid for the pics - proceeds 2 fund the project. Any higher than 50 ?
Good weather on saturday so I took the block round to mates car wash place and used the hot power washer and degreaser on the block... Then took it home and buffed it with the wire brush on the grinder - came up tops! Before: Then got out the trusty zingazolve and gave it a coat! Rust free block for years to come! Have to give it an enamel coat of black now.. Edited by: Carbs4ever
More done so a few more pics Took apart the pedal box - cleaned and painted the pedals put on new pedal pads and painted the column Took the hubs apart - got the rust off then zinc'd them and then painted them also new bearings and modded the back plates (can you spot the mod) so they can be taken off without having to split the hubs Then got the GPC gear linkage repair kit - best 2 you could spend! Stripped the whole linkage and painted/laquered it all and then replaced the bushings, new protective boot and new heat shield. The gearbox was lookin well sad so off to the car wash! sprayed it with degreaser and took into it with the hot washer - good results just need the wee bits of oxidisation removed - also gonna get it rebuilt..
top job! i think this time round i'll have everything looks as clean and mint. interesting way round the 16v servo problem, i just spaced mine out from the bracket using washers roughly 4mm, works though keep it all coming!
