Little update on some new items i have purchased over the weekend. It all started off by me taking f0xy upto 480bhp house to collect his seats, so i thought id take some money just incase i see any thing i like for sale, good job i did as i needed a new calliper as some of you know wot happend to the last one , Bought two referbed ones at a good price, also he was selling some new rear brake pads
PF97's and some used front PF97's that have coverd about 4k not much at all, he also threw in some front disks not to sure wot they are so if any one know that would be a big help and a bottle of super blue racing brake fluid also for a great price. Didnt think i would be spending any money lol i was wrong
Thanks to 480bhp for the items
If anyone is interested i have a pair of standard 172 disks for sale and a passanger side 172 caliper

update on the engine conversion
Late last week i thought id pull my finger out and get some work done on the car.
I had to drive the car in to the garrage forward as the the exhaust was to low to let me drive it in backwards as it was scrapping on the floor (the garrage is at the top of an incline). Decided the best way to get the exhaust of would be to take it outside and put it up on axel stands, bit riggy i know but mehh it worked
once the center section and back box was off it was then time to take off the bonnet then i cold get to the manifold and downpipe
5 min job and the mani was straight off, next was the front bumper that took abit longer as it was stuck on one side, got annoyed with it and ripped it off, was a rusty screw
The car got lowered and then the front wings came off, it was rolled back into the garrage and put on axel stands for the main work to begin
Look at how low the engine was sitting because the threads were stripped out of the gear box that holds it to the mount
Was taking the air box off and came across the problem of the engine being sat to low on one side, decided to get more room by taking the gearbox mount off
started to take the gear box mount off and then came across these
and this not good :dead:
not to worry the box is being scrapped, wasnt a valver one, we think it was a 1.4 box
mount off
Air box off, then noticed some liquid coming out of the throttle body, smelt like petrol
next out was the powersteering pipes and bottle not needed anymore as im running manual when i put on the 172 widetrack. Drained the fluid into a bucket
next job was the subframe, didnt realise they were that heavy
upper slam panel off
now it was time to drain the coolant, verry nice colour as it has power steering in it too
rad off
more to come

Next out was the drive shafts, thought they might of been stuck in but they came out pritty easy
wires needed to be removed so i could start to take the engine appart, wot a bodge it was from the last owner, thank god its going
once the wires were out i could take the rocker cover off the engien
had to drop the engine out the bottom as i dont have an engine crane
once the engine was out decided to take it appart as the bottom end had gone (at oulton park) so that could go straight to the scrapper
here was our way of getting the cambelt/auxiliary belt off :rasp: tree cutters ftw
broke into bits
as you can see i dont have much room to work, the bottom end has now gone to the scrapp yard and it has all been cleaned out so i now have more room to work

Yesterdays efforts
Every thing moved out of the garrage so i could move the car forwards so i could jetwash the engine bay.
we started to move the car forward with the jack under the slam pannel and jord was pulling quite hard with the jack and i had my legs over the jack pulling the car with the slam pannel, dunno wot happend next but the jack came from under it and the slam pannel, the car came down on my legs, i tryed as hard as i could to pull up and that just hurt my hands even more and was crushing my legs till the floor of the car stopped it,thank god, i was rolling round on the floor in pain and jord was rolling round on the floor wetting him self in laughter :dapprove:
O well finaly got the car on axel stands and started to jetwash the engine bay
once we had finished jeting the engine bay was the struggle of getting the car back in to the garrage
engine bay looking nice and clean
done a little sanding down and getting rid of the rust
few new bits on the way and a lot more work yet still to be done
