It Has Begun!

[car.mad]

been a while since i'v been on here or done anything as i am skint due to the robbing B******S that call them selves car insurers!

since last post i managed to get a sheet of 3mm plate cut at college on there fancy water jet cutter, saves me a lot of time money and effort!

not really been able to do much on the car its self as i now need suspension mountings which will be ordered this weekend (hopefully) as well as some more welding gas and a sheet metal folder (may make one???)

stripped the engine down, took the sump off to have a check and happy to report its all good under there then took the head off a couple of weeks ago and had it skimmed down, (think they took 1.25mm off it, more compression ) needs a couple of new valves, contemplating doing the whole set but at £9 each its not a cheap job! next for the engine is head gasket kit, timing belt kit, water pump and some paint... i want to make the engine match the car which i'm still unsure on the colour so that may have to wait a bit longer.

will hopefully get myself back in the garage this weekend and get something done
