The engine started to make knocking noises, wich came from the conrods. after just 10 miles one of the rods decided to give up
the conrods were then replaced by some steel rods and my car was prepard to take on the Nurburgring. And the engine started again make some strange knocking noises after 1.5 laps. So i went home (400 miles) with an engine that sounded like it would fall apart any minute.
After that i thougt it would be a good idea to rebuild the engine bay.
So i got the grinder out and started to take the car apart.
and there was rust... a lot of rust
i started to rebuild every little bit that was rusty
new front, including strengthening plates and removable top.
more engine bay rebuilding and stich welding.
