Weekend update time...
First of all got myself a flare... Extra JDM points... Came standard on JDM car I believe...

Fuel rail restored...
To start as it came off the car


Half way through cleaning it up with wire wheel on drill



Etch primed...


Coil pack before...
Both rail and coil pack bracket is a green coating, found a similar coloured paint...


Both all painted with a couple of coats...


Strengthen a small pallet with some ply and added some castors from machine mart so I can get the engine off the stand...
You can see it in the pic below, although you can't see the wheels.. Engine on the front subframe, thought it would be more stable like this...


Cam cover that has been soda blasted with brackets, oil cap and valve reinstalled



And engine pic.... Just waiting for a delivery of parts to finish off the engine, the three front covers etc




Next step is to get the gearbox and clutch fitted...

[Jenkt]

Time for an update, to show whats been going on....

Engine covers on - Brand new one



Made a dolly to put the body on out of a wooden pallet, and some ebay 130mm casters...



Some grinding to repair the arches by a mate




Started to clean one wheel arch... tedious job ready for Epoxy mastic




Arch repaired waiting for some finsihing and in primer



Rear ARBS with new super pro bushes pressed in and tow hooks e coated




Rear subframe almost built up, need to refresh the rear uprights...
