Wow!!! That was a session tonight, I have managed to get the crank pulley off and rest of the covers, cam covers and also painted the water pump.... And spent ages hand polishing the radiator which was rusty.

 

At least I can start painting now, got some nice plans. I will post pics tomorrow but for now I'm having a Guinness!!

Got a tiny bit more done today. Just waiting for parts to arrive, i have painted the brake master cylinder.

 

Hopefully have some goodies from SRD this week

 

1- Mishimoto black water hoses

2- SRD Billet lower water neck- ill have to polish it

3- smoothed top water neck

4- thermosleeve- desperate for this now

5-turbo intake hose- black

6- lower turbo hose to intercooler

7- top rad couplings- black

 

Every time i step into the garage i see another job which need attention :D, never ending. I think once the gloss covers are on and the crank pulley back on, it will start to take shape and look like a nice bay.

Ordered more nuts and bolts for the build! got some nice titanium dome nuts to go on the opposit side of the custom heat sheild i made, little gay touches go a long way. Hopefully ill get soome pics tomorrow evening. going to repaint the servo before i fit the painted master cylinder, keeps things fresh.
