I fixed my left indicator. Just horn not working. Going to put grille backplate on today and put numberplate on. If it stops raining I may drive it...

I've been making some bits shinier, some bits cleaner and some bits better cleaned up some bolts, ignition coil and brackets, air box (sprayes it with black plastic dye).

And some bits I haven't bothered with yet as it's raining! Got some engine lacquer so that's on the to do list...

Lovin' it

Finally finished painting the engine, what do you think? Didn't turn out quite like I wished(tiger camo).

 
You want an honest opinion Bronko?   

Fire away, it's black now anyway, lol

4 letters, starts with C, ends with P.  Looks a bit like a Victorian-era wallpaper I saw once but your pattern has gone randomly saggy.

Hmmm.... I drilled 3 holes for gauges above the radio in my dash. Fitted 3 gauges (but didn't connect them up as dash isn't back in yet). I also got my doors to shut nicer without hitting the catch or the bodywork (drivers door is perfect, passenger door needs a little work) and I also replaced my fuses with correctly rated ones and mounted the open backed fuse boxes onto plastic to eliminate the risk of shorting on the bodywork. 

 

Jobs to do... finish door adjustment, put dash back in, fit a small fire extinguisher (only because it was sitting in the shed ) and get the engine back together!!

I fitted my new radiator, fan belt and temp sensor today with difficulty lol . and whilst doing so discovered my temp valve and water pump will need replacing very soon as they are very very corroded.

Fitted my silicone hose to the rad and water pump,what a bark the pump was to get on!Then fitted rad,cowling,nightmare also.Just hope now the fan is on correct way now(6 blade metal).Now have mini back ache,after lots of sweating and swearing and dropping bolts.

Took the plunge and removed the head. Took a while as it was my first time and the locating dowel bolt was seized. 

Was told it kept blowing head gaskets when i bought the estate which was why they nicked the worked 1100 out of it and was given the 998.

I think it may have something to do with the head being a bit banana shaped. It's never been skimmed from the looks of things. Now I have a worked 12g202 head that came with it. Is is worth getting that checked over at the same time as getting the original head skimmed?

Strpped and primed the roof

Replaced the scotch locks with solder joints for my radio power connections. Got my dash back in with my freshly fitted gauges and admired it. Then slammed my door a few times to admire it's lovely clean slam noise rather than the horrible bang it made before

Looked at the estate and decided I might need to wind the camber down a bit.
