I've copied this thread from another forum, but it should all translate

 

Bought this little racer as a small project and hopefully abit of an investment as they keep raising in value;

as it currently stands missing quite a vital component...

Came with buckets of spare parts, buckets of reciepts and full service history up to 113k (currently on 123k) and a fully refurbed engine in two peices

Ports polished up

Interior pics, carpet is in pretty good nick, could do with a wet vac though and probably a new drivers seat and drivers door pad

Today (23/4/13) dropped the head off at the local engine centre to have the valve clearances set, once its back probably next week it will get bolted to the block with new headbolts, new clutch, new timing belt and new water pump

thats all i have so far but will keep it updated

-------------------------------------------------------

Got the head back from the engine centre on friday ready to get built up as soon as i get the parts together, also went and cleaned the engine bay in prep for the engine and whilst i was there gave it its first wash in about a year

picture of the block

engine bay cleaned up abit, i could have done abit better on the hoses in honesty

in the last pic you can see some of the dents and scratches

just a wash dry and one coat of EGP

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Small update again, still havent got the engine fully built and in the car been pretty busy at work, ive been taking small bits and pieces though and cleaning them up off the car and also buying smaller bits that will need to go on the car i.e. bits of trim, indicator lens, parcel shelf hooks

engine timed up ready for the head and new timing belt

cleaned up the cam cover

hopefully the next update will be with the engine in

Update 24/06/13

This week I had off work to get the head on, engine in and through an MOT, however came to bolting down the head got to the final stage of the torquing process bolt 7 of 10 and its stripped the threads from the block, must have been weak for whatever reason.

Major pain, but the blocks going back to the engine centre today 25/06/13 to have inserts put back into the bolt holes, well at least to enquire because complete used engines are going for around £200 currently.

Needless to say im absolutely gutted
