Benn's on going build

[TWAG]

Looking good mate, if your not using gas for welding then honestly get your self some, it is amazing the difference it makes.

Are you going ahead with the servo/master cylinder move?

Very impressive work mate, especially considering you have to work with a sore wrist. Thumbs up and all that.

Marks sanding a nightmare. Having to wrap it up ad crack on...

I always wondering how precise you are!
The small modifications are mostly going to a big and perfect rebuild.
Nice job!

[Benn]

I try to be very, but doesnt always work. Thank you too.

[Benn]

Not been enjoying this. To short on time, to much to do.


So This happened.





Thanks for your help Dan


One main reason for this was my leaking sump. It leaks alot.


Got a spare sump, checked it and had it machine flater. As i dont wanna have to do this again, it was then dropped off for chroming.
They had a few probs when chroming it sadly.





Like not taking the lettering off as i'd asked..





Other was corrosion in the fins.


Here..








Needed to be sorted as it would look utter ****e.
Mask to the edge of the fins and lightly sand.





First coat of Arden blue, then using a finger and a cloth wipe the top of the fin to show the chrome off again...





2nd coat and so on..











Lacquer and let dry then un mask... Leaving me with a tidier job.





With the engine out it was time to get the old sump off.





Nowhere really looked like it was leaking tbh.





Looks ok in there..

[Benn]

Gave everything a clean.... Remember to clean the bolt holes...









That's a lump of hard RTV. Must of been 3mm long.






Refit new chromed sump.









Nut and bolted on the pump end, as i'm using a Zlet pump and they have M8 holes. Last time i tryed drilling the holes in the gasket and sump to be M8, this didn't work on the gasket and could of made a leak from there...









Finished.









And i re painted my starter too. Just cause it looked a bit tatty.




Car goes in for paint tomoz. Rebuild at the weekend for PVS.
