hodge Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 All done Steve, turns out it was the water pump core plug after all. New water pump, pump housing, thermostat, and rad cap. Wire tuck went well, but would look loads better with a nice induction pipe and filter, and the battery stuck in the boot to free up all the rest of the space. Here's a few pics for ya, she's waiting for your return from greece. Hope you like um. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Nice job on this car also John! If I was to have this done, I'd have to have the engine out and bay sprayed though...all that space just shows off the dirty buts!lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was to have this done, I'd have to have the engine out and bay sprayed though...all that space just shows off the dirty buts!lol! I recon it's a little extreme for Steve to have me pull the engine for a tuck. Anyways there was no dirty bits in there when it left. The whole bay was decreased and polished.

Westy Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wasn't a criticism by any stretch mate. Always think that the bulkhead could do with a coat of the shiney stuff though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, once the sound deadening is removed the paint underneath doesn't look that great. Nothing a bit polish won't fix though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
