    I have started a thread in mechanical about the z18xe/x18xe1 engine.

    interestingly the z18xer piston/rod combo will sit 1.3mm proud of where the z18xe/x18xe1 piston/rod combo will from my measurements.

    I am going to look at a decompression plate to bring the deck height up to suit. I have vernier pulleys anyway so no problem in that area.

    Just a quick one

    Welded in sill piece

    Inner arch finally finished, etch primed and seem sealed and then painted over although you cant see that in the pic because i forgot. Not the best looking repair but it wont be seen so i can live with the fact its strong and done properly.
    This was a real mess and was rusted quite badly after i cut all the rust out it looked like this so i'm glad its finally done

    ive welded in the outer arch but its nowhere near finished yet so i'll leave it there

    First time I've ever done anything like this, its not finished just yet as far as the bodywork goes as I don't want to fill my garage with filler dust until I can do the whole car. I feel like ill be able to do the metalwork on other side no problem at all now and probably half the time.
