silver sport project
over next few months this will do tidy'd and done up generally,
drove it twice since ive owned it, and ccome to the conclusion, the brakes have had it
plans are new brakes, suspension, inlet, full exhaust, stereo system, and some work to be done by a body shop
then i went on to buy lots and lots of stuff
new rear speakers
new front speakers, "were in the van"
calibra 256mm ate calipers, will be refurbed and run with red-dot disks and pads
shiny gearshift linkage
rear lights of the smoked variety
exhaust manifold of the janspeed 4-2-1 variety
then stripped it out a bit
some strippage today then some more another day, fit small stereo, waxoil it all and put it back minus the rear seats
lots of servicing goodies, not exciting but very very important
new exhaust
magnes cat back, 3" inwardly rolled
couple more bits
new manifold gasket, cat gasket, new bolts,spring and rubbers for exhaust. and new disks and pads
new suspension kit
annnnnddd
rebuilt my brake calipers with new seals and dust boots, just need painting black
and my new inlet
good job i got the manifold and a new cat, the joint flange has litrally turned to dust as i was undo-ing it,
gonna be a bastid to remove the manifold thou, with aircon and power-steering in the way
right so far
removed old manifold, fitted new manifold and fitted new timing belt and running gear
new belt on
old manifold
one of the reasons the manifold was junked
to get new manifold in i had to remove oil filter and front engine to box bolt
and new manifold on

a little bit of progress today
day off, so after taking stu's wheels to be worked on, when i got home i fitted my harneses, re-fitted my centre console, cleaned rear 1/4 panels and waxoiled 1 of them
then ran out of waxoil so fitted one of my mhw's
pictures
all the joining seams have been fully waxoiled, the panel itself i just blew over it, it sound deadn's it a bit and resists moisture hence why it isnt a really even thick coat

3/2/07
todays work entailed, removeing front bumper lights, and arches, and you can see why
tons of soil and grit stuck to it all, sooo wire brushed it all out, hopefully itll be all rustproofed tomorow.
it was dark and foggy but you get the idea
and the front...
i also re-fitted scuttle panel and fillled the coolent only to find i think the fan switch's on the rad are dead as the fan wont come on til about 110
so thats gotta be done aswell
also the morretes and the front bumper are for sale.
8/2/07
right, fitted the front suspension,
cleaned and waxoiled inner arches and unbolted bottom of wing and waxoiled all in there too.
old suspension
before arch pic, no waxoil or suspension
waxoiled and suspension fitted
bloody tired now doing it by torch light in the snow
10/2/07
small miracle has happened,
3 aircon centre console later, 2 sets of bulbs, 2 sets of led's and strip and restrip of the dash about 6 to 8 times, i hae finally got all the dash lights on and working
1st console the aircon knob was glued so when i undid it it snapped,
bunch of £ later i had another console, from a guy off here "1.5td" stripped it took the bulbs out fitted green ones, putting aircom knob back in,,,, snapped it BOLLOKS,
3rd console from mylo stripped it, fitted bulbs, put all back together, right hand bulb failed, strip it again, re-fit all working, then left hand bulb fails, then upon removal it explodes bugger.
so using a spare swich from one of the other consoles and a bit of gentle purswaysion i got it all on and back together, and then got the mfd lit up properly aswell
wooooo
essay i know and not major mod but its taken me ages cos of the air con etc
best pic i can get im afraid but im sure you can figure it all out
