Dropped the subframe in situe - wasnt the easiest job as the was is basically up against the wall of the garage - left the hubs and brakes in situe. Need to actually work out how to get hte car our of the garage in this state... will be interesting.
Stripping the old paint off the subframe - i did it with a paintbrush and it was chipped and looking a bit sorry so thought it could do with being redone.
Greenhouse has basically become my spray booth at the moment. Subframe after a lick of paint.
Need to do the underside this week.
Another little job was to wrap the exhaust - I bought a 182 manifold a while ago and like the idea of not cooking my starter motor on track.
Before:
After: (quite an unpleasant job to be honest)
That is all for this week kids!
Head is still at the machine shop - should be back next week so hopefully i can get my engine build back up sometime in the coming month.
I also have realised that i neeed to get rid of the cams i have - i bought 422s cheap but it sounds like i need to get new pistons to make them work, perhaps 421s are the only ones that that will work with a standard bottom end.
