Costs too much for little gain

Yea windscreen out job. How much is your windscreen XS? Usually £50-80 crack your screen on the passenger side so you can still see to drive and claim on the screen insurance. New stonechip free screen and new rubbers all in one go! Simples

If you are are moving rust and want it sealing again Upol Raptor is what you want to seal it again. It's the dogs bollox. Hard wearing, can tint the clear one to the colour of your car aswell.

Quick answer, weld new metal in. Mercs are shite for rust in these areas. 100% will be rusting inside the flange where the inner and outer are spot welded together. You won't stop no matter how clean you get the outside. Looking at how heavily corroded it already is theres going to be holes when...

But after looking closer, there was a gap at the bottom where the wiring was still at risk of melting with the heat. So I made a little shelf to cover the wiring. Used 5mm rivnuts squashed to hold it on Basically done

So nimbus heat shield, to protect my brake lines, master cylinder and clutch cable. Bought it from Tweeks I think. Started by measuring the depth and width i wanted it to cover. Then once i had the correct size i used a rubber mallet and a plant pot to panel beat the curve where it sits over the...

I'll be honest the dampers work well.

When are you going to give me a break 🤣

@NorthloopCup or another Mod could you move my thread to the projects room? Or into the correct room? Not in the right place is it.

Now that it was back on the ground I arranged for it to get an MOT, i was going back to the guy who i bought it off. When i called in to book the car in it turned out he had sold his half of the business to his partner. He said no problem though and I booked it in for a weeks time. 🤔 Then I...

Wheres all your wiring gone m8??

Page 2 is the splitter build

It's in here somewhere on one of the earlier posts m8

Well I figured if I'm doing it ill just do it once do it right. Just needs minor maintenance and spanner checks then, no more major surgery. More to come yet buddy

Not as daft as I look 🤪

Ebay, great tool but I only for certain things. Most of its crap but those little gems you find like a brand new Sparco Evo2 bucket seat for £180!!! Couldnt resist, not a mark on it, same style as my drivers seat without the wings. My buddy was going to pick his Box up from Northloop and...

Now that the engine was back in and running I could concentrate on a few other bits like wheels and shafts. I got a set of 5 2118's in white with the car. They had R888r on 2 and AR1 on the other 2 with one loose alloy. I trashed them at Cadwell so I fancied trying full slicks. Managed to get...

Hmm I would keep it m8. When you put your ignition on it tells you how much oil you have. Rather than lifting the bonnet all the time

I'll be honest, the plan was to get a load of pictures putting the lightend flywheel, clutch and box on. Then on the hoist ready to drop in but trying to rein back 3 helpers making sure all bolts were torqued to spec and nothing was being over looked or missed whilst trying not to damage my...

Its oil level I believe

So big jump forwards..... This happened!

Eventually I managed to get hold of the timing tools and my m8 to help me get the engine off the stand. Locked the engine in place, removed the old battered crank pulley and fitted the new lightweight one I got in the kit. We then sat it on its head on an old sofa cushion so we could remove the...

I dont know if I've already said in a previous post couldnt be bothered to look but Mark fitted a Gripper and its been overhauled aswell will see me right for a good while now.

Forgot to add pictures I bought a new end cap as mine was weeping after I blasted it but it finished the box off perfectly!

Its pissing down, I have a river running through my garden so I'll sit and write abit more on here. Next I tackled the gearbox. Same idea as the rocker cover. Using wire wheels on my drill I remove the oxidized crud to reveal clean ally. Gave it a good blow off with the air line and the used...

My 2118's were white aswell, fancied black then because cage is red I got the red decals

I'll be honest Ive never worked with Omex. Do you keep the original loom and splice the ones into it you need? Or is it a completely ne loom?

Gen 1 steel, running 550lbs up front no rattles m8. It's like anything, keep it well serviced. Clean and re lubricate often and you should never have a problem
