lee grout Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Loving this update. I had rust on similar areas of the chassis legs too, although not quite as bad. You going to paint up the rear beam?Also, is the filler neck screwed on anywhere near the top out of curiosity? How do you get to it if it is?

Escort_Kid Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Update: Managed to get a cheeky half hour working on the car today whilst looking after the little'un and got the rear axle stripped down and axle bushes removed ready for new ones. Unsure on whether to fit poly bushes or just normal bushes though? As I know in some cases its not really worth the extra money fitting poly bushes sometimes, thoughts? Also got my new piston rings delivered from burton power in the week aswell Some pics: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1485_zpsionixg0m.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1487_zpstlmt9hov.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1489_zpsjbgppjfu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Update: Had a few more goodies delivered recently. I got some white and gloss black enamel for when I clean up and paint various parts on the car and a big tub of waxoyl for under coating the stripped rear end after some repairs have been carried out obviously, just need to get a primer to go on first. Also got my valve lapping stick and paste ready for when I remove all the valves and clean them up and re-seat them all and the big end and main bearing set arrived too Also decided to order my bottom end gasket set in preparation for re-assembly and a set of stainless sump bolts, some pics: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1508_zpswpd9q7xv.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1509_zpshltxv0en.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1514_zpsvjv3dajj.jpg Next up is the fact I bagged myself a set of zx9r carbs off ebay, they need abit of work and a few replacement parts but all will be sorted in time. Am going to space these out to the port widths of the zetec inlet so that I can make straight runners on the inlet manifold I will make to mount these on: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1513_zpszlezcrph.jpg I also got round to changing the piston rings on my pistons and cleaning up the top of the block and re-honing the bores ready for slotting the pistons back in: Out with the old: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1517_zpsfztmfrw6.jpg Piston ring slots cleaned out: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1511_zps3gwc14di.jpg New rings in: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1512_zpsilk6crzk.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1518_zpspqw86t6r.jpg Block top cleaned up and bores re-honed: http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1522_zpsj6umhscw.jpg http://i1070.photobucket.com/albums/u500/aaron-leggett/Mobile%20Uploads/DSC_1524_zpsvnkpa49k.jpg Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looking good fella,going to be a good one this.just try not to get a head of yourself with the carbs etc,get the engine in and running in the standard set up first then do the carbs,if you do both the same time you could end up with problems not knowing if it's the carbs or engine.

scottybo Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 U would only need a megajolt? Hardly standalone management. They sound sick on carbs tho lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
