nevins Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 As soon as im free from work mate, i will pop down and sort the wiring if you want. Its chaotic on the calsonic contract at the moment. Not too far from having the 14a on the road ready for a painting session with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where we're you hiding that one when me and Lewis came down Well done on the wiring, does suck to have to spend time doing something just to put it to how it should be like but still has the same sense of satisfaction when you look at the completed article I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted May 3, 2012 Author Share Posted May 3, 2012 cheers mate , stripped the suspension off the car today and found some rite horrors. its beond me how people can "repair" cars like this and not care abourt how many people they may kill. so we had ; brake lines from what looked like an old ldv van coupled on with a nut... yest a nut and batterd in mastic to slow the leak. (the brakes were terrible) this is part of the reason why. cracked bleed nippl "filled" with what looked like epoxy resin. (this is not a jaoke} rear springs on the front dampers. and to compensate for the shorter softer spring to get the ride height up thay had cut pipe as a spacer to go under the bottom suspension mount and used long bolts to bolt it down. can wait to get into the rear suspension... oh and ther were no drop links lol. it really feels like im saving this car from years of torture. like a rescue dog. i will make it beutifull again. it deservs it after the abuse and neglect its sufferd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_jekyll Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) also made a start on the turbo , now i thaught id do things a bit differently for the oil return. because its an auto i dont need to change a clutch so pulling the engine just foe the oil returne is a bit too much effort for me. that coupled with the auto box cooler lines being in the way lead me to go down a different route. so i decided to put the return in the steel lower sump . just by raising the engine a few cm i can unbolt the lower sump and slide it out. the pics should tell a better story this will now all be welded up when i get some gas Edited May 9, 2012 by dr_jekyll (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
