I'm planning sourcing a spare to rebuild and mine doesn't even need it yet :ROFLMAO: Just nice to know I've got Gucci freshy on a stand in the garage ready to slot in when the day does come. But I'm weird.

Needs speedlines and silvervisions. Oh and…. M3

Polybushes ?

Those are called nightmares mate. Not dreams 🤣🤣🤣

This is the problem with being a spastic. I have dreams about balancing cranks and honing bores ffs.

I’ll be picking up a spare motor over the winter to slowly build up for mine. Nothing too crazy. Built for dependability and zero’d. Why am I like this.

Needs looking at properly to confirm the issue pal. If I was breaking cases, the absolute minimum id do would be: Rings Hone Gaskets Valves and stems Shells and bearings Belts Water pump etc Bolts Oil pump Sky’s the limit though. The above would likely be £900-£1200 ish in parts by my...

Without seeing it, hard to say. But it does sound like the bottom end wants refreshing

I feel like I deserve an easy ride for once considering how much this project has molested me 😆

Had a spare half hour so started building up the subframe now. Arms are in. Balls joints are in. Arb is in with its accompanying bushes etc. Only finger tight atm. Didn’t have any aggro at all with the arb, contrary to what I’d read previously. It was a doddle compared to the arm bushes which...

Check out my thread if you want some inspiration / commiseration

I read your original post as "I've had it since I was 3" which I did think was committed tbf. Bit of time and money and it'll be good.

You'll see in here that many of us are neck deep in "cheap Projects". Loads of knowledge on here. Helped me loads, especially Big Jon @Mr Underhill

Hi, A good detailer can probably sort much of this out on the visuals side. If it's damp inside, I'd be inclined to get a dehumidifier running in it. It'll defo want a good service if it's been sat. And likely the belts..

A lot of skilled bods shifting abroad in the last few years. Can’t blame them tbh

Can’t put a price on safety imo !

20 deg covers most tin top applications mate 👍

Also this.

Thank you good sir :)

He's not allowed to sell. I have forbid it.

Jon to the rescue

Evening, I thought I’d ordered these but apparently I didn’t. I’m after the bolt sizes for the inner and outer arb bush brackets…. (I believe the inners are recommended to be slightly longer?) I also need the bolt sizes for the rear subframe supports. Have noted them (badly) in the pic below...

Box and diff and new casing is now with @NorthloopCup I’m beginning to assemble the front end. Hopefully pace will increase from here ☺️ Arms are challenging to fit with the washers. Will attempt to clamp the bushes down today and see if I have any luck. Going to get a second opinion on the...

Nope. Good as gold on that front 🥴

Ah, okay. We pressed them in ourselves in the end mate.

Who’s fred ?

Yeah, one of them is like that. The other one I can’t turn unless I put a stud in the flange for leverage. We took them out and put them back in. Bearings go in really nicely. Once the flanges are in, they are hard to turn

I do have a question for you knowledgeable folk. Bearings have been pressed in with the new flanges from FrogJam. They’re very difficult to turn by hand… is this normal ? (The flanges in the bearing)

Never turn down a reach around
