I've got a Sealey and a Clarke one, the Sealey takes off most things the Clarkes a little less powerful but still a good gun.

Brilliant work, I'd love a loom that simple!

Haha cheers mate, I'm on strict orders to keep this one... For a bit! Cheers mate, what causes that with the faces not being clean? Thinking I'll just leave spacers off, not worth the hassle.

Thanks a lot mate, i think most of my fussiness came from following your thread haha.

Update Finished off a load of bits today, got the car moving for the first time in months. Still need to get the alternator bracket made up, some cable ties held up for now :wink: Brakes are all on and suspension built back up. Really happy with the result of the brakes, look brand new. Not...

VVT solenoid seal another common one.

I had the same after rebuilding my car. Took the gearbox earth strap off and cleaned the ends and body then done the same with the loom to gearbox earth and it works perfect now.

Cheers for the heads up Mark, was actually something I was thinking about when looking at them. Is it just with these ones this has been happening with? If so might look at others. Getting that way John :disrelieved:

When do the calipers arrive Scott? Going to look brilliant!

Made a quick list of the parts I've bought so far since owning the car. Pretty happy with whats been replaced, should see it fresh for a while. I can see how money can quickly add up with these things! —— Engine/Transmission —— Timing Belt Kit Aux Belt (5PK 847) Cup Alternator Dephaser Cam...

Cheers mate, yeah I'll try not sell this one let 2 other good ones go lol. Here's the links to all the parts I bought for the calipers: http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/261625453829?nav=SEARCH http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/271651814388?nav=SEARCH http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/231465144606?nav=SEARCH

Yeah got it sorted mate reckon it was the top gearbox one after I'd painted it! Spacers would of been good but 25mm is to much I think, the 20mm ones I've got are looking on the limit id say. Would of been perfect though having the studs as well!

Few parts arrived today, the most important being the caliper rebuild kit so i can get the brakes back on. Ordered some DS2500's and braided lines to go with them. 20150203_125123 by Arran Bell, on Flickr Aerocatches for the bonnet and front bumper. 20150203_125057 by Arran Bell, on Flickr...

Where did you get the car sprayed @neil a ? Would love to get mine done!

I have around 500 movies on a hard drive, can i set up a file system on a pi so i can run these movies on to my tv and possibly see descriptions or covers? I keep hearing of XBMC.

Well with the car running I focused on getting it back on the ground, bit hassle with the shocks not lining up with the hubs but a jack and wood sorted that out. The manifolds off because I had to take the exhaust manifold off to get the starter motor hear sheild on (pain in the arse). So...

haha yeah it was @Stu. that advised me on it!

Thanks matey! Yep just blocked it there and worked perfect, stupidly forgot about the breather pipe at the back first time as well!

Turned the car over today for the first time... And it started :smile:!! Happy to say the least, it's reving very high when on though so air must be getting in somewhere, still need to block the pipe on the rocker and get a oring for underneath the manifold so hopefully that solves the issue.

Thats cheap, might get a set for the road!

Good work on the bay Neil, especially for having the engine in!

Just buy a standard back box? If you can't afford that you really shouldn't be driving a 172!

Cheers mate! I'm glad I done mine now was contemplating just leaving it at the time! The whole thing is driving my ocd mad, I don't know where to stop haha.

Not yet mate, need to make the loop and find some plugs still. What did you use to plug yours?

Forgot this photo with the gearbox mount placed on, definitely needed a bit yellow over that side. Untitled by Arran Bell, on Flickr

Cheers matey, I've not thought about interior much yet, something epic though!

This is brilliant keep the photos coming ;)

Few more parts arrived this week, no pictures of the NGK plugs but got them fitted earlier, only need a bracket for the alternator and should 'run'. Anyway here's what turned up: Forge coolant hoses Untitled by Arran Bell, on Flickr Alloy Radiator Untitled by Arran Bell, on Flickr Ktec top...

When i was nosing about the hi spec site i thought it said minimum 17" wheel for the monster callipers? They look amazing !

Looking good! I hate those built not bought stickers, I'd say they'd be relevant if you built the car from the shell lol
