Just to say well done on the rebuild - looks ace - gives me some ideas on how clean my engine will need to be when its built up!!!
Where did you source the paint for the block by the way???
Cheers
Joff
no idea Joff, the guy who built my engine did it all. JB will prob know
Ad
Very very nice work - a pleasure to look at
No idea what paint exactly is used, I have asked before and he said Hammerite but fook knows where he gets it in that colour !
i like the looks of that car
Ye i think hammerite do that colour, IIRC i had a can of it to do the brake calipers on my old car.Quote:

Hi,
Jules, it has been in Total Vauxpoo mag. Few years ago now. Not in its current state but not enough changed to get a re-feature. Had stereo in back, carpet and creature comforts!
It was Oct 03 issue with a blue wide arch Cavalier on the front.
Cheers
Martin
I liked the feature of yours in Car & car conversions (back in the day) that Walshy did.Quote:

And get some more pics up lol!!
Blimey Craig that was along time ago.
Bet not many people remember that feature.
Shows how old i'am and how long i've had the car now.
Was it?! Blimey I've forgotten the TV feature then (I have all TV issues), I remember the C&CC feature (Still got that knocking about somewhere I think)
I've still got the CCC feature at home too!
update :
Me and a mate finally got time to get the engine in on Saturday, due to the competetion mounts it was a pain in the **** to fit as once mounted you could not move the engine about to get it sitting correctly but eventually we got there

Next update
I have had the wiring loom in bits and taken out everything not required and now routed it back through the engine bay, fitted a few tanks and wipers etc..
I spent a while messing around with the engine mounts to get the engine to sit nicer only to find that when I fitted the exhaust manifold that it hits the drivers side tie bar :cry: some fettling is clearly required here
Got quite a few smaller jobs done too and hopefully tomorrow the bits from rally design should show up so I can get the coilovers back on and brakes etc..
Will keep updating as things get done
