Sorry to all who are subscribed for the lack of updates! Been insanely busy with work so i've had really very little free time over the past few weeks to get online.
Anyway even still i've been working away at the car over the last 2 weekends. Put in a solid days work last weekend and did another solid day today. Status as of last weekend was i had the head off and thus put in the decompression spacer + arp head studs, fitted the new injectors, changed the crack pipe (mine was fine but i thought whilst i had everything apart why not), refitted the head, cleaned and painted the rocker cover and finshed putting everything gearbox related back on. From today the front suspension and drive components are all back in with most bushes replaced, brakes are on, turbo water and oil lines nearly sorted out and welded in the return line fitting into the sump and whilst doing that i changed the rod bolts to ARP hardware too.
I'm going to try and get more done on it tomorrow although i have a mate who i've promised to make a dump pipe for so that might halt progress for the day although i would like to try and get my front section of my exhaust made as well as the remainder of my intercooled piping made if i have time. There's still a surprising amount of work left but i'm hoping startup may be only a couple days of work away. That said with work and me going away next weekend for a friends wedding i think it may still be 2 weeks away :( bugger
I have taken some photos, but not as many as i would've liked too (the whole getting stuck into it and simply forgetting) so i'll try to get them uploaded asap!
I'll give a proper update later on, i promise but for now this'll have to do :)
Cheers,
Rob
