So next job was the sump, as since i changed the oil its been leaking. First thing was to get the down pipe and system off.. Loads of room :rolleyes:

Got it all cleaned up, this time the bottom of the block a thin smear of blue (gotta colour match) RTV and all refitted, new filter on and left to dry.
From there i moved on to my new brake set up.
Calipars needed a good clean up and repaint.. They had some fire/water and crap in them..

Cleaned them up and they are ready to repaint.
A good thing about working at a motor factor is old stock...

Got new discs too and painted the centres and edges..
From there i moved back in to the car... Unbolted the sunroof glass, so i could remove the sun cover bit.

Lay martial on it, use spray glue thats says "use in ventilated area" so not in my front room no?:doh: Yes i feel a bit light headed..lol

When the tops dry, i can flip it over and fold and glue the edges. Then refit the plastic vent bit.
Also order up a few silicone hoses from Chris Astley, the only ones i can really use...
Rad to stat hose, head to matrix and the front hot water out of the turbo to rad return.. They will be here in a few days So i can drain the system and refill it properly.
Cars looking sweet in retro cars mag Benn in their Billing feature :d
