UPDATE
done a few things to pass sometime before i pop the engine out ! just waiting on a engine hoist.

got some pics - painted my rocker covers, 16v is starting to look good :p



need some stainless bolts and it should be there :A:

Also started to get rid of some arch rust and crap and painted them up !



looks good and keeps the rust off as i dont own any arch liners lol will be doing the same underneath and all the way to the back but that can wait for now. need a new clutch and a full set of drilled and grooved discs and pads as mine are fooooked lol
coments please :A:

.bump .

WOW that will be one sex spec car when its done

Engine is out !!
 

Well today i thought sod it ill drop the old 8v out on the floor instead of waiting for a crane. came out quite easily ! Running out of room in the garage, hence the bumpers on the roof !!





as if by magic :A:








Then i took all the sound proofing out and de-gunged and de-rusted ! it was filthy down there !






Then a quick coat of paint nothing fancy just hammerite to seal it from rust . will need another coat maybe 2






Carnt wait now to get the 16v dropped in! sending off fly wheel to get lightened and balanced and buying a new clutch! a set of polly bushes for the front as well i think. comment please







.

rite ! My old discs (front) are being an arse ! The screws that hold them on are rusted and rounded ! Ive drilled one out but just takes so long ! Anyone have any tips for a quicker way would be a big help tar !

Looks Good :y:

Small updates, drilled my discs off as they were stuck and gave my struts a de rust and paint! also didnt like the red on my block ( it looked pink :n: ) so gave it a new coat witch look slightly orangey but i like it !!








Also started to clean up my gearbox need more work but undecided to paint it or not ? what you think ?
