took out some of the dash/ clocks ectt .


have no pics of it now biut got all the bulbs changed in the dash as only some were working the last while so will get some when i throw in a battery again .



moving on from that i finished sealing off the whole of the car up in turrets ect and what i missed the last time when i hadnt the subframe down .

will also get some pics up of that one of the evenings ..

before i put up the subframe i checked the bushings and they were good as fucked and really they were the only bushings to be changed in the car so to speak so tipped up to shane in drive-n-style and got power flex bushings .











aslo took out my rear coils took them all apart cleand them up again and re-set them to ride height again .




subframe back up in place finally !!



so got a small bit done with the engine 1 engine just few bits stuff removed to whip out the engine and box before the weekend .

Been a while since I updated this as had really lost faith in the car..

Put in the built engine done 79kms went fucking bang spun another bearing . bit the bullit 2 weeks later bought another blacktop non-vvt engine got it home . done a compression and leak back test and well it needed more work than expected .... So stripped it sent the head off to get new valve guides valve seats re-cut and valves re-lapped also had to go get new piston rings as well ..
So the new. Engine specs are ....

Blacktop non vvt
Cosworth big end bearings
Cosworth main bearings
Cosworth thrust washers
New piston rings
New valve guides
Valves re-seat'd
Cosworth 1.1mm head gasket
New spigot bearing
New front crank seal
New rear crank seal

So hopefully it will be finished this week and get it in soon as run in the engine and start add'n few bits more to it !

Also bought new japspeed rear toe arms there newly brought out in the last while by them to suit s-bodys that run super low and not catch the rear subframe un like conventional straight type arm these and bent to avoid the subframe.
Also bought new diff brace

Also have a new 52mm alloy rad to pick up along with alloy surround with twin fans and controller unit .more to come real soon and lots of pics as well !
