Unfortunately the Dyno tune has been put back to Tuesday :( Didn't want to waste the day off so took the rostyles in to get shot blasted they came back today and Sent them straight off to the bodyshop for painting Cleaned up all the chrome wheel nuts up with solvol Wired in the rally timer and trip meter
Mot time tomorrow, should be ok most of its new !!
Another good weekend,lots of jobs done Had a few set backs but managed to mount the exhaust fit new rear brake cylinders and mintex shoes, Bleed the brakes Secure the battery and fit the bonnet pins heat protection wrapped the clutch pipe Didn' quitet get it mot ready but should be ok for next Saturday :) Managed to get a few miles on the clock and first impressions are good Got some second hand stage rally tyres for the shakedown event on the 22nd sept It's going to be close but should be ready It all hinges on Thursdays dyno tune
Getting the wiring sorted and tidied up this afternoon for the lights, horn and washers/wipers etc hoping to get the rest of the rear brake pipes done tomorrow along with a few other jobs which are easier on a ramp then hopefully can gain an mot
got a rolling road session booked for next Thursday if the engine survives that then it should be ok lol
Had a very short road test this afternoon just up the road and back Felt good but a bit flat power wise needs a rolling road tune to get the best out Of it Was surprised how light the steering is (still haven't got the new track rod ends on Yet The limited slip diff works well Very pleased with today's progress :)
the propshaft still hasn't arrived, apparently its gone on its bank holiday jollies around all the parcel depots in the Birmingham area, so much for a before 12 delivery saturday !
made good progress this weekend clutch & gearbox in rear axle & shocker mounts welded on H120 badge fitted to front grille spent nearly an hour sorting out the interior light I think I spent half an hour unconscious after banging my head on the roll cage for the umpteenth time !
lsd/diff fitted back into axle refurbished fuel tank refitted & system checked for leaks (so far so good) clutch fitted to engine, non o/d box going in on Saturday at work and whilst its on the ramp the axle and shocker mounts welded on
hybrid propshaft should arrive back today lets hope I measured it twice !!
leaving the wiring jobs for a workmate to sort as eveytime I mess with electrics the smoke escapes from it.
Took the pedal box out and de siezed the pedal pivots fitted the new clutch master cylinder Sending the brake master off tomorrow to past parts for recon Cleaned uo the 4 speed box ready for re fitting once the clutch is back Have a j type o/d box for sale if anybody wants one or would swop for a non o/d box
my fastback
