Hiya all,
Well progress has been a little bit slow lately due to working on an engine which I have been googling up on to know how to restore it to a degree.
Basically I know nothing about cars and how they work so this has been a big learning curve for me.
Spent time at home working on the wiring loom in the living room trying to figure out which wires to remove (trust me don't do it with a malamute who's blowing their coat or you'll end up with fur lined wiring loom).
Well engine and gearbox was sand blasted and painted with acid etch then given a coat of VHT paint.




New water pump fitted along with cam belt,



Also made ally side panels,



I made the sides out of 2mm Ally hence the reason I had to put a bend in the sheet to get it to go where I wanted it to.

I've got a few other things on the go but gonna post them later this week.
Robo advised me about changing my rear top wishbones setup which I have taken his advice and will post what I have come up with.
Well thats it for now but should have some better piccy's by the end of the week.
