drop the subframe out with the engine and box. then when putting it back get the engine and gearbox mounts on ( so the body is holding the weight of the engine ) then the subframe can be moved easier. If that makes sense?

If youve got access to a ramp its much easier to lift the body off i think.

Anything mixed by skream will be good.

As far as tints go theyre not that bad, BUT the car will look much better without them i think.

Saw you going through Alfreton this morning, gave you the thumbs up. Think you was still asleep! :cool:

Yea its a switch

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Theres a pic of all the big ends and mains.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project ^^ yea aslong as you put new bearings in i dont see a prob. Here you go Jord some pics, bit crap there off my phone. If i can get hold of a large micrometer tomorrow il get the dimensions of the journals.

Strange seeing it back to standard, was one of the best on here IMO.

Haha what did i tell ya! It can be done just a pain in the ass. with the right tool it takes 2 mins.

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Got a decent crank if you need.

Ideally you need the setting tool to do it properly, it can be done without it but it can take ages, you'l probably get all forward gears but no reverse, or you'll lose fifth etc. The tool im talking about comes with new gearboxes, hard to explain what it looks like.

Yea, it says its been resprayed.

The way i do them is to remove the drivers side headlight, slam panel and top engine mount so you can jack up the engine. Gives you more room to work.

poooooooooooooooooooo

Thanks.. might have some trouble finding one of those though.

Ahh a de-bobbler...very handy. What splitter you got?? car looks the nuts.

It does sounds like an unbalanced wheel tbh. you sure its not something else causing a vibration, like a driveshaft. I tried making a string box once but It didnt work too well, easier to pay £30 for 4 wheel alignment.

The part is unavailable.

You only get grease everywhere when the boot has split or come off, the boot can be fine yet the joint inside is fubard. A noise when turning is most likely gonna be the joint, to test it you can get under the car and feel for play in the drivshaft, there shouldnt be much.

I'l take the 959, stunnin motor

If its wheels off centre then you cant take the wheel off and put it in another position, because its master splined. It'll be a tracking issue or something bent.

^^ Mine needs doing tbh!!

1*2 cambelts arent exacly a tip-ex jobbie. Floating pulleys etc best to get it done by someone who's done a few, dont go by whos cheapest.

Yes

There is a lot of smells and smoke after a rebuild, its normally just oil and coolant burning off the block/manifold etc.

Yea theres a few but they've all had the C.S treatment too, so dont feel alone.

Yea thinks its the middle one of the three, quite common for getting corroded up and causing starting probs.
