Thanks bud, yes she is waaaay cooler!

So amidst the chaos I've found some time here and there to strip the engine and assemble the front brakes.





The calipers and carriers have been stove enamelled and rebuilt with new seals, pistons and bolts.

The engines can cover, intake and sump have been aqua(?) blasted and look stunning. The cam cover will get a red crinkle coat of paint and the intake a silver/clear coat finish. The sump, I don't know, maybe silver again.

I've a BEGI coolant bypass and coil on plug conversion to do. Otherwise the cambelt, all seals and gaskets have been replaced and various bits cleaned and painted. The gearbox also got a clean with new seals and a silicone gear lever boot.

This should in the car soon...

Hi Norton
I was just wondering where you got the camber adjusters for the suspension from.
Thanks
Stephen

Hey, the threaded tubes I got from thelatheman via eBay. The actual bush holder/adjusters I made myself.
