I just had a look through the stuff that I got from JP/Lee........ I hardly need a thing, fantastic :D

 

I didn't expect the oil adapter to be there but it is, I also have all the fittings I need for the drain. I got a couple of gaskets that I knew I would need and I got the one I needed for the turbo with it so I'm good to go.

 

Can't wait to get cracking on :D

I don't have the money at the moment unfortunately guys. I'm aiming to buy it after the new year :)

 

When I spoke to Ryan he mentioned a PnP harness that he makes up, obviously that adds to the price though.

 

No problem Scott. Will let you know via PM what Ryan says anyway for info. Sorry for cluttering your thread with unrelated talk. :thumbs:

The easy part is almost over. Stripping the bay has been great fun, I'm now going to take my time so that I can delay trying to put it all back together :D

 

I've decided that I'm going to get rid of the fuse box as well. I know I don't have to but while I'm here I might as well. Need to get some heavy duty tape to protect the wire, will see what I can get in work :D

 

Next on the list is a bloody good scrub, a degrease and a paint.

I then got cracking with the engine bay spruce. Finished off the bay and then set to work on the block. I've decided I'm just going to leave the head so I've left the oil pump. Will give everything a good degrease and I'll be good to go.

I've got the head to scrape to get the crap off of it. I take it sealant is used for the gasket? What is the best method for removing the gunk, I was thinking scraper but I'm worried about little bits of it falling down into the holes. Not really sure how to avoid it?
