Underseald with dinitro and also used a dinitrol chasis rail oil injected in the sills and chasis rails.
at the weekend the new tank will be doing on new fuel hoses and the beam that has been rebuilt (new bushes new bearings brakes shoes etc and painted black(
Whats the chasis rail oil like?
Really good mate, similar consistancy to the underseal but instead of black its brown and made from different chemicals. The dinitrol stuff is really good the MOD use it on the vehicles. They give you a drill bit and plugs and a nozzle that sprays 360 degrees but ive found alternative holes to use rather than drill unecesary holes!
Cool, Might give it a go
dont think the engine will like being on its side like that lol looks like your cracking on tho ;)
Engine will be fine its drained of oil etc. Yeah getting there now ish lol.
got it direct from them.

Bit more done today. New tank fitted and fuel lines. Braided hoses and new pipes on the beam. The beam and shocks + springs are on and then fitted the exhaust. Tommorow the car will be coming off the spit and i can start on the front end once the engine has been removed.

New front panel should be going on at sometime this weekend and the fatherin law has done a load of welding since i took these.
Keep up the good work buddy :thumb:
Liking this a lot, the inlet manifold looks great!
Well after coming home after a week on holiday i got alot done today and the fatherin law did some work in the week. All the welding under the engine bay has now been done and the new front panel is now all welded in place. Wings and bonet fitted nicely and everything lined up so all good!

Well bit more done yesterday. The front panel is fully welded up now and we welded 8 plates under the engine bay and did some seam welding so its looking ALOT better than it did.
New discs also arrived and new wheel bearings. Also stripped down all the suspension components cleaned and re-painted so got a great deal done.

loving the car dayle good work mate mines a 1.6 16v could only get it 120mph mine would noway beat a c20xe like my black one is going to be
looks 200% better :)
Top work dayle, looks spot on :thumb:
Cheers guys, slowly starting to see a + to the project as it slowly starts to come together! Hopefully engine will be back in within the next week. Just need to get all the new gaskets and seals.
Not much more to report on this but got a bit more paining done but with the weather being soo cold it hasnt really been great going in the garage and the mrs lost her job so thought id have a bit of a break from the car. Anyways she has a job again now and few bits have come.
Santa came early today with a nice new stainless steel manifold.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...g?t=1293133406
Also waiting for a new front brake set aluminium 4 pots and racing rotors.
Me and the mrs have been having a chat as its her car and were thinking of a weekend only car (which means i can build a proper 1600 next year)
Also just after xmas i should have a DTA S40 and a custom loom made and hoping to get the car fully sprayed in the new year!
watch that exhaust manifold if your running anything under 60mm lowered
Mine used to scrape the floor on braking, You would be better off with a 4-2-1 for the c16xe aswell.
I know the one that was on was a 4-1 mildsteel BTB one and one of the bottom primary's is about half the diamiter than it should be due to the previous owner looking like her rallied it over every speed bump going :-( i should try get the oxyacetaline on it and heat it up see if i can push the dint out.
The car isn't as low as it was when i bought it now.
Cheers for the advice though mate.
yea i ended up getting the sbd 4-2-1 in the end was loads better than the ebay jobby
Should of gone for a 4-2-1, powerwise mostly.
Crack on though :)
looking good mate there's been a fair change since when i saw this on ebay :thumb:
good project you got going here matey!! will be easier to get sorted having it on a jig!! hope your getting rid off that steering wheel though lol
Yeah to be honest if i didn't have the jig it would have been scrapped it needed that much sorting on the rear chasis legs and boot floor. Anyways its all sorted now.
Steering wheel is defo going i hate it!
Scoorge how long ago was it on ebay?
Engine bay is fully painted we bought the same colour as the new Vauxhall VXR's
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2..._5600516_n.jpg
Front panel prepped for painting. enzyme Inhibitator horrible colour stuff but i swear by it. Primer over the top of that then paint with celulose then a high quality thinners for the top coat.

Inlet manifold. Well i fitted this to the engine and it turned out the c16xe throttle body hits the cam cover ever so slightly when the throttle cables in place so im on the look out for a x16xe one now as this clears.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v253/Dayle/inlet.jpg
Bay looks tidy, are the VXRs not just glacier white or are they different?
Are you still looking for a X16XE throttle body? I do have one.
Yes i am mate. How much do you want for it with postage :)
Olympic white i think it is. I just wanted the brightest white i could get.Quote:
