*Update/Help lol
Did or well, tried, a bit more today. Started well enough with more additions to the ever-filling-up engine bay..

But after about an hour of that it didnt really go to plan as i struggled on my own with the suspension. Fitted up the coilovers ok and did the usual bit of touching up along the way,

But then the old o.e track rod ends i did maul and can't get those off :-(

Also the rollbar/tie bar got me in a tizz. Now i left the rollbar on for the mo as a number of the fixings are seized too.. so its easier just to fit the lot and run one. But as i didnt really pay much attention months ago when we took it off; which way does it fit on??

Like so; with the threads on the antiroll bushes U-fixings pointing up?

Anyway, as said, i was there about 5 hours at it and got sod all done really so i do need a hand next time, also ill be picking brains tommorow at billing.
More soon, hopefully.
Have you cracked the nuts on the track rod ends? If not put the ends in the hubs and wind the nut on to hold it still. Looks from the pics like your trying to undo them while they are moving around.
..forgot to mention this 'over-flow'(?) pipe on the stat.. ive just popped a vac hose onto it and it dangles onto the floor behind the valance..

that the right idea? no even sure what it did before...
hi rich, the lot of it is seized.. i am trying to undo the lock nut, tho tbh i wasnt sure which way it goes.. so just gave it hell both directions..Quote:

Get a spanner and a hammer on it, can be very tight. Alot of the time at work they need heating up, if you have a blow torch its worth a go. Definatly put it through the hib to do to hold it in place or your making alot of work for yourself.
Also that 'over flow' pipe usually runs accross the front of the rocker up to the header tank. If you leave it dangling its going to piss your coolant out as soon as its running :thumb:
Roll bar goes on the underside of the tie bars.
Looks well though.
sound advice rich, thanks..
Rick, thanks too.
But the o.e nova header gets its return from the radiator, it has no where for that stat return too...?
Ill have a day off tommorow at billing , n go at it again fresh from monday.
You will need to add a take off to the header tank or join that into the standard return with a T piece.
yeah i worked it out in the end lolQuote:
