Had an hour today so thought i would put my new manifold studs in. to start things off the other day when i was taking off the exhaust manifold they were brilliant. it is as if they were put on yesterday, undid with ease and not a spot of corrosion to be seen, i just cracked them and then undid them with my fingers. certainly beats some which i have seen. and then i abandoned them as it was going so well and i was getting bored to play with boost pipes. clipped up my guage feed to the max ,, no leak here sir

Rocker cover gasket needed big time . i wish my manifold studs came out that easy 2 broke before i even got the manifold off let alone taking the rest out of the head. but joe got the job done in no time and i was driving home before it was dark.

Well I have asked the right people and was put off by being recommended to use photobucket to host pics,. However now with new job means I can use a computer all night.,. oh well I don't have a problem it being here, it might get moved now and then I can remove the stupid title of rust bucket. Hang on, you asked for a project thread and were going to give me some photo's to show me before I gave you permission. You said you only had access from your phone, to which I said you should be able to host the photo's via a photobucket app. You told me you would get back to me next week, which you didn't and removed yourself from the PM discussion. Nothing like missing some key parts to the story!

Surely the cost of bringing this back to health is gonna be way more than buying a good example for say £2k.
Hope you got it for a few hundred quid.

Managed to get my cambelt done today. Beatiful day for it. Took me about half an hour.longest part of it was locating a tip X pen to mark the belt up with.. Kaboom I also got all of the rust proofing done aswell giving it all 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of silver and 2 coats of clear, and it all looks great now, Roll on friday when things can start going back into it, Please can a mod change my pics with img popper as my phone is so gay its taken me best part of this evvening to load everything up. This is why I got hot and bothered at the mention of photobucket Begbie Thanks Ps only top and middle pictures work, Today managed to heat proof paint the manifold, and not a lot else. Edit: The reason the 2nd 4th and 5th images don't work is that you have missed the end of the full photobucket link.

That was what I thought. Suits me just fine having an oil leak if that's the end result.

New slam panel before refurb these bolts took me half a packet of fags to get undone, using a pair of water pump pliers. pretty tough on the old forearms. lower rad support legs. half way through the refurb, just after i had finished the top coat of clear i decided to kick it over and then try and catch it mid flight, missed! and now there is a hand print, huge smudge mark and a tear in the paint, that is when i finally gave up. i miss my coop new stat and temp sensor finally some holes that arent full of bolt lower support beam fitted more stuff fitted. stupid slam panel. everything is going back in now. picked up new turbo yesterday, oil cooler pipes. , boost hose, coolant hoses, other bits and bobs should be running by friday i hope

before anyone points out my header tank return pipe hiding behind the injectors being wrong. but thats how i want it. that stupid plastic panel clip on thing is gay, as we stand today. everything is waiting on the cast mounting and water rail arriving, guy that i bought it off has gone MIA. so i am just doing silly little jobs to burn the time away. like wrapping the loom, do you have any idea how many cups of tea i had to make my misses whilst she was doing it haha

Because they rub the body work at the front and back and that allows water to touch the shell and create rust.
Hence my car being full of holes and off the road and my house full of more coupé than I thought possible.
