#248473 So 6 days till the mimms meet and making good progress here's a few pic's of what I got up to yesterday.

So I walked into my unit with my coupe looking like this

Image

Image

Image

Then using some parts I picked up the other day I got on and did this, I know this has a build thread but thought I would show my pic's here.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Job done and I think it looks sweet, I have an idea for the left overs of the grip tape so will get that up once I plan it out and do it.

Then got my mate South African Mike over and he helped with the last bit of welding I needed doing and have got this done.

Image

Image

So by 10pm I left her looking like this

Image

Plans for today are get her fillered and start getting a few coats of primer down, then while that is drying will be de0greasing my engine getting that ready for a spray and will change my cam seal too.

#248658 So another busy day at the unit got the final bits of sanding done and layed down the first coat of primer.

Here's the engine bay all taped up ready

Image

Image

Image

And how she looks now

Image

Image

Image

Image

Then while this was drying I thought I would get on with cleaning my engine as thanks to a leaking cam seal it's bee caked in grease, I started by splitting the gearbox and engine

You can see my Exedy clutch plate :thumb: , I have stage 1 clutch and lightened Exedy fly wheel.

Image

Then set to work on the gearbox started off not looking to good.

Image

Quick de-grease and a bit of tape and ready for spray.

Image

Image

Image

Then a quick shake of the can and all nice and shiny again.

Image

Image

Image

Also will be adding this when it's put back together.

Image

Then took a look at my manifold and really wasn't happy with the way it was looking.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

So gave this a clean up and got it ready for spray and finished looking like this

#248879 So not done much on the car itself yesterday but went and got some other bits sorted.

My Benen fuel rail turned up finally :woot: (will get pics up later) so had to call Hel and get them to change my order for my fuel lines, plus had decided that instead of using the hard lines for the rear and fuel line I'm gonna go full braided for them all.

Then went and spoke to Darth Vadar and got him to strip my cam cover, got a few pics of it going on.

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And got it to look like this before dropping it off down to the powder coaters

Image

Been told will be ready Friday so can't wait to pic this up.

Coz of the time frame I've moved my MOT to sat morning as gonna pull an all nighter tonight to finish the spray job in the bay and get the engine in place but this is now waiting on my fuel line which I've been told will be here for Friday.

If your rebuilding it and have done everything right there is not reason why it won't run even if it was a none runner to start with
