Andys mk1 2.0 16v Build

[Benn]

SKF are very high quality bearings, iirc they make some pretty fancy self lubricating rose joints etc too (about £200 each I believe )

Yes they do. I think i can get them.

Their belt kits are good too, as they use Gates belts. (cam belts)


Stunning Nova Andy.

Beautiful andy car looks very nice and shineey amazing what a splash of polish and a bit of elbow grease can do to the apperance of a car.

Yup, use them in work, very good quality.


£50 is steep though!

Thankyou for the nice comments everyone!!

Yeah I thought £50 was steep but I'd rather buy quality once than have to buy lesser stuff twice!!

Good point.

In the grand scheme of things, £50 is fook all.

Have to come down one day for a mince dude

Just blasted through this whole build, car looks awesome mate. Had my ups and downs on your styling though, when it was early mk1 style with gsi interior thought it looked naff but with the gte bumpers and the interior looking so clean, winner. Loving it mate

When is the early bootlid and late spoiler going on Andy?

Not updated this for ages but i'm going to be getting back on with this project.

First of all got the new bearings pressed into the eccentric topmounts at work and refitted them to the car:









Due to a change in personal circumstances my car has got to be moved from its current garage so i've managed to sort a council garage thats really close to my house, really happy with it to be honest because its so close and has got two big heavy duty steel doors on it compared to the usual up and over doors that you get on council garages. So i went over there this morning and did a bit of sweeping and tidying up ready for the car going in there next week:



Before, it was a bit tatty inside but i think is been empty for a while:



and after a quick sweep and removed the rack's someone had put up on the beams:



Much better.

Novas booked in at my work next Saturday for an MOT so that'll be when the next update will be!!
