Went down to help out on the Saxo tonight. First of all the manifold, turbo etc were all stripped from the engine leaving just the inlet on. The car'd had some nasty oil leaks so we brake cleanered it to death but will probably paint the block before it goes back in the car.
Pre clean up...
Well, I've gone past the point of no return and sold my carpet and steering wheel for the Rallye.
I guess it will be staying as a stripped out slag for a while!
Today's to do list;
Remove engine
Replace timing belt
Reseal cam ladders
Reseal cam covers
Reseal sump
Replace some turbo oil seals
Degrease everything
Replace water lines
Sort top rad hose
Reseal water outlets
Check bottom crank seal
Spark plugs
Fresh oil
Paint up engine bay
Refit...
Had a tinker tonight with mark from French sport tuning.
Engine will probably be coming out to be re sealed tomorrow and we'll see where we go from there!
It's not too bad, brakes, oil and plugs, new wipers, sort out temp gauge, drop links, new wheels and check for any other potential suspension problems. Usual s**t.
Not silver but literally brand new with almost new tyres - £115!
Project de chav starts in earnest tomorrow.
