Let the blood sweat and tears begin again !!!!

Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends we're so glad you could attend, come inside come inside.

and here we find ourselves again at the start of yet another project thread i dont like typing much so this'll be mainly pictures and a few comments here and there so thanks for looking and let it begin

ive been started for about 3 weeks now and have stripped the sound deadening out the car, stripped the engine ready to lift, stripped the inner wings ready to re wrap and minimize the looms and relocate the fuse boxes, stripped the front end with the power braces and anti roll bar coming off so far to get painted.

I recieved my first boxes of goodies today from Apex Performance radiator and associated gubbins and a proper short shifter.

Pics so far

[xborninthefight]

Lol thats funny just been doin the some thing as you for the past few days.
How are you going with taking off the rest of the shit thats left from the sound deadening

[fudi]

what stuff mate mines has came off pretty cleanly i just left it open to 'chill' overnight in scottish countryside then went at it first thing in the morning with a claw hammer and paint scraper (same method we used on a mates mini) gently tapping it to break its seal to the floor then if i couldnt get my finger under used the paint scraper to lift it no mess and easy to lift it all

[xborninthefight]

Your so lucky, ive got lots of shit left over and its goin to take ages to come off, Ive spent about good 6-7hours of just taking it off, (was taking my time though)

[fudi]

i was about that for mine all done lol

[xborninthefight]

But ive still got all the little shitty bits to do

White spirits works. A bit messy though.

towel soaked in petrol worked great for me

did a bit more tonight finally stripped all of the loom wrapping on the passenger side. I've mainly done this because when my turbo gaskets blew it melted some of the wrap and insulation together and it made quite a mess. Being a spark i have access to all ways of keeping cables tidy so i have found some stuff i'm going to try to neaten the looms up with. Also have the gearbox, alternator, brake calipers, caliper carriers and starter motor all stripped off. And i have the lower part of the windscreen in bits to replace the linkages hopefully get some more pics up tomorrow.

might even get the engine out

[fudi]

well the engine is all ready to lift out but have had a rest this weekend due to mum needing some work done. Going to pick up my new clutch and flywheel and a new passenger wing today cheers roacher also got my new pistons from dunkz today so my spare engine will be getting stripped this week to go to the engine builders this weekend. Also going to start rubbing down the front crossmember and chassis legs as well and start hammeriting !

Better not let the Police see that... it sooooo looks like an Ipod powered Pipe Bomb!

[Roacher]

min i da belive u put that sling round the oil filter a tip tho for the excess tar on the floor warm it with a hot gun an scraper.

[Pugger]

Jesus dude.. you've seen us take engines out before... why did you sling her by the filter and not the engine mount bracket?!

You must want to hurt yourself

[Roacher]

We always did that until we put my engine back in... put it all back in as one and it made it sooo much easier

But me and duncan can now get a CA18 out from the lifting of the bonnet to dropping it on the floor in just under 50 mins

Hows your Car(s)(s)ermm(s) getting on?!
