Im frigging knackerd. Been working on the car since 10ish. Doesnt feel like i've done that much tho. Started off sorting out the inlet. Isnt the best fix, but for the time being it will do.

Which clears the pipes and brings the afm to sit here..

Which is ok, but i can move it so it sits over more.
Then got the knackerd old water pipe off.

Found a bit of pipe the fitted with a bit of work. (polished jubliee clip..)

Didnt like the copper pipe, but lucky the rubber hose was long enough. Now runs here.. (yes its P-cliped up with the loom)

Started cracking on with the exhaust.. Fitted the down pipe, fitted my system to work out where they meet and make the cut.
No wonder my system was hard to cut... The flange still had 3inches of pipe on it, this was slide in and welded to the rest of the pipe, good way to do it really.

Now they just about line up so i can do a slotted join, but i had to bolt the down pipe on with some long bolts and xe manifold springs, is that ok? Or do i need let stuff??
Made a cut to give a lil angle so they meet nicely, then i can then weld up.

Then on to connecting the ic, now one ends all sorted. But the other end i've been waiting on a hose, so set about making one from odds and sods.. Nothing i have at all fits! C**Ts.
Polished up my water pipes.

Piped up the rest of the system, its all now ready to go..
So its ready to start as soon as i can get something sorted for the ic pipe.
Need a bolt for the uj on the streering. Any one know the size? m6 is to small, m8 is to big..
Clutch cable in and sorted, gear linkage in needs setting up tho.
Speedo cable is in.
Cam belt covers on, bottom pullys on with new belt fitted. (had a few laying about..lol)
Coils fitted, tiny bodge here but its fitted. Wiring might need extending tho.
Fuel tank vent valves fitted,
The one way vavle i havesa a bit small tho, so i need some of the juliee clips that are for small fuel lines.
Did a lil trail fit...

Water pipes in that bit are a bit untidy, but i cant find any other way to use them.
Bolted the oil cooler on and fitted the new sump plug.
Shes now filled with the finest Gm 10/40.
And has brand new plug too.
Really funked off its now running, but i know its ready to.

Nice one ben nearly there now.

Benn. In between M6 & M8 is M7 thread pitch. Novas use M7 for the bumper bolts in the fr chassis legs & the seat subframe to floor bolts.
-
Never seen m7...lol
Guess i'll have to by one for it or pop to the scrappy. Cheers dude!

Turbo's are for losers! lol
