I havent updated this thread for a while as ive not had the time.
Good progress has been made with the car the past few weeks.
SuspensionFront
ARB & powerflex bushes fitted
Eibachs and Billies Fitted with new Coil Bearings and Top Mounts from AA
New wishbones, drop links and trac rod ends fitted
I also replaced the inner cv boots
Rear
Eibachs and Billies fitted
Fitted Rear Disc Guards. When you buy these the quality of the paint is very very poor. It really doesnt take much to scratch or chip these. I gave them a few coats of zinc primer followed by 4 coats of black hammorite. Hopefully these will last longer than the last ones...
BrakesYellow Stuff pads fitted front and back
Brembos refurbished and fitted
Just need to refurbish the rears now
Braided hoses to be fitted however due to my lines being in poor condition im going to get my dad to sort these out at the garage inc making new lines.
Hel Braided Hoses
CosmeticPainted the front cross member.
Painted top of new rad to make it look like the OE Ones
Refurbished Heat Shield
On saturday Nismo came over to give me a hand
Upon arrival he was greeted with this:
We fitted all of the silicon water hoses from rogs group buy.
A few of them needed cutting down slightly but all in all it wasnt the worst job in the world.
The hardest bit is getting the CHOD in place...
My original hoses went in that bad condition however I was shocked to see the bodge that had been done with my CHOD.
It would appear that my CHOD was bulging at one point and rather than replacing the hose they just chopped it down
We also fitted my nice semi new coolant bottle and washer bottle, refurbished rad support bar, new rad and refurbished slam pannel. The system was bled and alowed to get up to temp.
The car will be on its way to completion as on Wednesday its getting trailerd to my dads garage (autovilla) to have some bodywork done and the last few jobs.
One thing I did notice while fitting the arches back on was:
New belts as well then!
... oh and my nice new oil pipes
I cant wait to drive the car again, its been sorn since the AGM!
