andy, did your clutch company ever get back to you on that uprated clutch for my 1.9dti lump? p.s those walls wont stay white for long ;)

you should become a smart repair master. with skills like that, ircc you'd do splendid results

FPMSL!

I still cannot believe ( been watching on DW ) you've managed to do that awesomely with dirrect gloss rattle cans :D good work non the less!

cups...cups everywhere lol looks epic!

I've got them up the workshop tony. Bloody good bit of kit, moved a freelander on a set peice of piss!

You can take the cast inlet off , I had a go at machining a k9k head ... The oil/water paths are to close to the inlet ports to make a surface for drill and tapping a proper inlet flange on. Dont be put off tho, it's not as restrictive as you think. My rebuilt engine with the cylinder head...

Matt brown has informed me there's two others knocking about. Ones has been restored ( take years to do ) and another is being broken for parts. See what happens . After looking at the veriants of British racing green metallic ,, it's either going red of BRG metallic

Paint thinners/gun wash on near metal LOL

No, you're scrapping all the underseal off ;) lol andys said, if he's honest , it needs to be metallic British racing green.

tel you what,you can have the red colour chips and spend hours choosing one whilst im doing the hard graft. ant -

? mopar NAT RED

i am not painting it pork pea green LOL ! hmm , could work Scott, needs to be a tad darker tho... always liked this

that's why its not going nato, as much as i would want to, it deserves a bloody epic paint job.

i dont want it looking sh1te after all the effort put into getting the metal all mint again.

it'll be fun, i think you'll still get me on longer revs, where as i have to torque shift at the right time or screw it up. i know, the price was to good to let it go. it's worth more in the massive collection parts in it than i paid for it lol.

hmmm, possible.

i'm looking for around 200hp and around 350/400NM , probably could get allot more out of it, but it means going to the bosch common rail system, which if i can help it , i dont want to venture into that field. its a car that i want to be easy to tune and fix.

Dam you lot and not letting me paint it yellow. It would look amazing tbh! This one won't be a pain in the arse like my dci , as it's getting a fully built 1.9dti engine and mechanical injection! Time to go fast in a cloud of shite! DaveDreads , we need a day down there to gut it and put...

I'll test fit the engine and box but as soon as I know everything is clear from fowling anything , the engine bay and underside will be painted in one

Thanks cub, should of made it a project thread tbh. Signal yellow low is a solid colour like sunflower yellow I would do it NATO green but IMO it'd ruin it after all the work to redo all the metal work. See what happens , I have ALLOT to do before even getting to paint

Front windscreen rubber trim has seen better days, needs two new or better roof rail trims aswell as they're warped and brittle sunroof not leaking which is a suprise. My god is the interior über retro! Needs de brakes overhauling all round but I'm thinking of running 172/182 hubs front and...

Sills and arches. Underneith is abit scabby but it's only surface. No other major rust anywhere else. Scuttle panel is fine aswell

I've seen a porka in signal yellow, it's looks awsome! And it won't turn pink ;) Its more filth than your car LOL

Matt brown dropped off my new project today,bit of a snotter/ no engine or gearbox but that doesn't bother me, I'll be fitting a mild tunned 1.9dti engine on mechanical injection. Only thing I can deside on yet , is to keep it green or full colour change into Porsche signal yellow anyway...

i can vouch that the 65's and the 80's are different. ( for the euro 3's that is ) carwoods diesel specialists near me have flow tested a set of 65's and 80's. the 80's flow allot more. the 100's flow the same as the 80's. the only reason more power is to be had out of the 100 , is...

FLOL , rate old bunch by the sounds of it. Who's Ali then? Don't say Peggy

Rondaveron can be pegg' I'll come as sir guy Martin as per

Or put it on mechanical injection pump and do it old Skool tuning , no ecu needed ;)

We can do a reenactment of ' at worlds end ' we've already got nick frost and Simon pegg lol
