thanks mate

 

Feel free to keep in touch as I just finished my engine pull operation to upgrade turbos and do the 200k service at the same time. Happy to help (from a distance) in my own little ways...

Appreciate that, havent run into too much drama yet that we haven't been able to get around, but if you check the post I put up about checking the internals and can help feel free

 

Always keen to help out, just a bit harder now with a 11 week old lad in the house! You get a chance to do any other mucking around on it today Painter?

 

HELL NO. I worked 7pm till 530am overnight. I was thinking of going out and ripping my heads off and the rest of the egr off the block but im really comfy in bed hahah

 

Haha yeah I bet.. thats a decent effort.. i miss going the all nighters. Keep us "posted" lol.. sooo corny! :rofl:

Me sleep now!

 

looking good ..

how long do you think this will take you ? maybe summer time ?

 

Recieved my gearbox and parts today. Engine is going into my workshop wednesday. Summer? Hell I hope not. I've nearly got all my parts together once I find the fault in the engine then it all goes back together.

I'd like to say less than a month

 

I had a chuckle when i saw that

love projects like these mate, all the best!

 

mmmm just purchased HICAS removal bar. so HICAS delete is getting done tomorrow and will start bolting the gearbox parts in

 

So the HICAS got deleted tonight. and my engine is packed in the trailer to be taking to my shop tomorrow. oh things are nearly heading in the right direction. my bank account however has taken a beating but mmm the parts

 

Imagine if every build proceeded this quickly, this forum would die very quickly

Nice work

 

Haha it will stop while I get your bars done all good for tomorrow?

 

yeah I'm good for tomorrow, be good to get them out of the lounge room, damn shoebox apartment. haha

 

Shifter - in
Pedals - in
Booster and Master - in

 

Gotta say it.
:worthless:

 

Updated pictures are worthless the bay Is empty nothing special and a clutch pedal is a clutch pedal lol as soon as something exciting happens you'll have mire pictures

 

Best news today from my mechanic...

THE ENGINE IS GOOD.
no rebuild needed so no idea what the previous owner was on about. will be doing front and rear main seals timing belt and a nice flush.

now everything starts rolling again as I can bolt parts back onto the engine in preparation for the re-insert.

Nothing changed on the car at the moment as I am getting laam's body kit ready to paint

 

New rims new rims

Finally got them today. Thankyou Tony123

 

was probably an electrical issue lol, alot of owners are clueless when it ocmes to these motors and engine problems.
how much did you pick it up for if you dont mind me asking?
