[Jammy]

And my new rims are now ordered

These arrived yet??

[Dog]

Hey Jammy.

I canceled my order once I found a set of KN Murcs for £15.
How come your asking?

[Jammy]

Just wondering really. I remember reading you'd ordered them and something in another thread reminded me about it, so I thought they were taking there merry time turning up! lol

[stardude]

how much does it cost for a set?

Stardude.. they were going to cost around £300 + post + cost of wheels.

Well, MAJOR progress today!

My flywheel finally turned up and a bag of new bolts has gone walkies The bolts were for my Clutch cover, now I can't find them ahh well. I also realised, I have NO engine breathers yet so going to get a timing cover with a breather on, on Monday, then bolt is all back together, and job done, engine finished

Engine bay is now cleaned & ready for some paint

This is going to sound like a wierd question but, dont suppose you know where i can get a round blanking plate like on the left hand side of your bulk head? my mk2 has the big heater hose going through it and there is no gasket or anything around it and when i rains it leaks like a *******, my front floor completely fills up. I want to do away with it and blank it up like this.
Keep up with the good work, looking excellent.

Dave - In all honesty, it came already attached to the car, but I do know of where I can get hold of one. But it'll need a big clean up, as most of its life its been left in a box outside...


Anyways, heres some pics;

Shexy new flywheel (11lb in weight, with a lightened back plate, and a rally/race clutch pad)






I also managed to refurbish my drive shafts...
x2 New CV joints
x4 new CV boots
x4 Ball joints
x4 Wheel bearings



Just need to refurbish my brakes, and thats everything on the subframe etc done

Thanks Tom

Pretty much standard in all honesty,
Standard Upper arms,
Standard Lower arms
Minispare H/D Tie rods (standard ones were bent)
Standard cones...

Only thing I've uprated is the engine steadies, they now have poly bushes, rather than rubber.

[Boab]

Looking good Dog, I must make an attempt to build my engine after seeing this.

[Dog]

Thought you would of nearly finished your by now Boab!! Come on man, pull your finger out!

[GraemeC]

Are you sure you have those flywheel to backplate bolts the right way round? I think the longer ones should go into the backplate, not into the flywheel.

[Dog]

In all honesty its how it arrived.
The only "loose" bolts were those that held it together....

Now you've said it, I might have a nose at my "engine builder" DVD now just to check...
