Sorry guys, wanted to post up a bit more about what's been going on. Just had a run of bad luck really :(

 

Firstly the belt broke on the compressor and i've been chasing around to find a replacement but unfortunately to no avail so going to have to buy a new compressor which has held me back a bit so i could clean the block ready to pop it in the car.

 

Also managed to scratch two of the main journal bearings so have to replace the whole set at a cost of £80. So all in all £200 out of nowhere.

 

In the meantime i've been busy restoring the paintowrk on the front wing and door and tonight fitted the new 99 spec lights which look much MUCH better :)

Really starting to shape up mate. Looking really good :bow:

 

Real shame you've got a couple more problems - but just get that light at the end of the tunnel - looks good dont it :D :dance:

Looking really good bud, exhausts a bit low tho' :wack:

Yeah it's getting there slowly but surely, i won't rest till that engine's in. Once it's in i'll be on the drive every night connecting pipes and wires :hyper: Can't wait to get it all polished up and started for the first time :D

pmsl :rofl: that won't be the exhaust going on fingers crossed but you'll have to wait and see what it is.... ;)

nice one mate, looking forward to seeing this finished

Rear lights look really good. Still a little unsure on the rear spoiler. never seen one like it??

lol, the spoiler is gone as soon as i can afford to get rid :D

 

I'm only keeping it there until i get the tommy kaira off the silver NA then me and pete set to work on a little project :D

 

Cheers Stella :hyper:

The light's look great mate, (there on my list 2, lol) and clear rear reflectors i see !

Good stuff!

Cheers guys, hopefully a bit more a meety update the next one. I'm gapping the rings this weekend then that's all the prep work done. Fingers crossed in two weeks i'll be building the engine at star motorsport and popping it in!

well done mate. nice to see progress.

Thanks buddy :D

You're certainly putting alot of work into this buddy.. Can't wait to hear it :)

I would love a V8 zed :bow:

Cheers mate, there's more work than i hoped there would be but all in all i haven't really spent that much time on it it's a case of saving the pennies to buy the bits in so i could make a start.

 

Nearly there now, last shopping trip for the big stuff goes on next week for the top end gear (rockers/lifters/pushrods) then we're done and ready for the full engine build!
