    Mean while my friend Cookie who happens to be a panel beater did this for me





    Cheers mate,

    I then reassembled the Rack and the calipers and painted a few bits







    Any way that is it for today, I will be hopefully completing my engine in the next week so keep in tune :D

    Sad maybe but I have just sat in my room and polished my window surrounds. Can't believe how well they have come up, they have a good shine now





    Photos don't do them justice.

    Small update,

    Reseated my valves after work, and clean the head up









    Its come up well imo, Tomorrow I plan to fit new stem seals, then re fit the valves, recheck the clearences and hopefully sort them out and then it will just be the case of painting the head up

    When I got home I degreased my block, it came up well and the paint lasted pretty well from last year. I just gave it a quick wire wheel and then another lick of paint. While I had the brush out I also finished the top side of my TCA.

    Pictures :P







    Hopefully more to follow tomorrow night

    Dan

    Looks good dude, and they all said that much boost would ruin your head

    I did my block with woco and it's been fine so far

    Yeah they did . One of the Inlet valves were a little pitted but it did have no clearance after all :P
