Bang a braided one in.

Some great news. The doner box I sourced from a member on here has been opened up and inspected by another member on here ( incestuous ) and is in great low mileage condition. I’m refreshing some bits just because it makes sense, but it’s great to know I didn’t buy a lemon. Will post some pics...

Not sure. Going to take a wild guess and say Kirkistown though judging by the barriers

Good effort to be fair

Everything is. What spec is she? For when you sell it to me

You should probably sell that engine to me at a crippling loss mate. Paypal good for you?

If it doesn't work, then it won't burn oil either. Problem solved for the Op

Thankfully I know plenty of engine builders. May be easier to just throw it at ED. I am capable of building a motor. But certain elements I would have to outsource anyway and I just don't have the time.

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.
