well folks, here we are again, been a while since ive been on but upgraded to club member last night, for all those who didnt get sick enough of my last WIP, i started again... i got my 1400 engine finished and in, had an oil leak from the crank seal behind the fly, so i ripped it all off, changed the seal, still leaked... so i tried all the s h 1 t t y chemical additives and none of them worked, so i made an executive decision and the 1400 is going due to suspected cracked block. good job ive still got my 1300 engine, which was ceased solid... so i stripped it, knocked the pistons and rods out and had the crankcase in the house for a while before i decided to rebuild it for the nova. i never wanted to transplant to the C14SE but it was a very cost effective (or so i thought) option at the time... so, the 1300... ive honed the bores out, polished the crank and got it back together, got a whole new set of gaskets to go on it, new pistons and ARP bolts (< cheap they are :s) im also sorting all the bodywork out, changing the colour coded back to the original SR colour scheme, grey bumpers, spoiler etc... got myself a toy mig welder too so rotten arches are going too... nice. got a few pics but my lock up is about a mile from home and my phone is gay and dies after every time i take a picture so they are limited.
