Wednesday 6th february
A little overdue perhaps but heres the next photo update for you all.
The engine bay has had a major cleanup over the last few days with alof of degreasing, rubbing down of iffy bits and rust treating/proofing.
Didnt feel the need to take any photos of this as there was very little to show.
Bit all of the above done today we started to paint the engine bay, decided to start with the outside of the front chassis and under the arches.
Heres the results to far from that
Before paint
After
Tomorrow ill be attacking the inside of the engine bay and all being well the new part of the chassis should be welded on to cater for the ECU engine mount

New engine will be in the car by Sunday lunchtime, a completion date depends entirely on whether it all starts first time etc etc, impossible to put a date on that really.

Good spot on the page number cheers went for the cleaner black look, really glad i did.
Package has just arrived at work which means i can weld on the engine mount part which isnt on the 1.0 chassis.
Cheers Aid

are you painting it on with a brush or actualy spraying it mate? Only reason i say is there are a few places which its difficult to get a brush into, and it will look better sprayed on!

Thursday 7th February
Quick update today as we've only had a couple of hours there this morning/
This was plenty of time though to sort out the problem id encountered with the ECU side engine mount brackets
The original spot welds were drilled out and the assembly came off.
Marked out the holes on the chassis where welding would need to be done and cleaned back to the bare metal
Fits as snug as a bug in a rug
On the old bit
Fitted into place.
Havn't got a pic of it actually welded in place, ill take one tomorrow after ive cleaned it up and painted the engine bay

Get that washer bottle out the way mate, you'll want to paint behind it (underneath chassis leg)

I think he means it will be in the engine bay, not wired up, exhaust fitted etc etc
