Steve was planning next weekend.......oops I forgot....I am decorating :tongue:

 

Seriously nice to meet you guys, Alan and I have bumped into each other a few times in the past but its always good to catch up.

 

With regards the engine your lifter should make the job a lot easier but as with most jobs like that nothings easy.

 

Let me know how you get on with regards the engine so we can get a meet of some sort set up.

 

Cheers John

I'll do your decorating and you can do my engine lol. :wack:

I'd like to know what was wrong with the engine i have in bits. I'll probably strip the heads down and get them pressure tested and see where i go from there, will keep you posted.

Sometimes people jump in and strip the engine when it might not be terminal. Did u not get hold of the previous owner or has he left the country lol. I feckin hate decorating but its my fault as it should have been done B4 Christmas but never got round to it lol.

 

Cheers John

I can remember when I wanted to get the engine out the Vette and it was snowing, didnt stop me !! Heres the pics too prove !!!

 

Only guising Steve, I was younger and more retarded back then !! ;)

Alan............

 

Deep snow before:

 

Big brush later:

Alan..............

Ah the good old days when we used to get a proper bit of snow......... i don't miss the driving sideways in my old 535 Sport lol, that was a horrible car in the snow, had to put it in full lock and gun it to get up hills as it wouldn't go up in a straight line.

Hats off for trying to get the engine out in that though!!!

Only guising Steve, I was younger and more retarded back then !! ;)

Alan............

 

Yes i probably got that day off at Nursery School :slap:

With regards working in the snow we have all been there and should be avoided at all costs i'd say. I have spent enough times up north in the snow at breakdowns on buses and trucks to know to avoid working in your own time, unless you want to of course, but then again when u have no choice when its work then different again.

 

Hats off Alan that wouldnt have been me.....I like working in me garage....even if the car is sardine canned into it.

 

Have u started stripping the engine yet steve?

All the best guys.

 

Cheers John

I've been waiting for better weather lol.

I don't think i'm going to strip it though John, bigmincey has given me a few ideas so its just the plenum i'll be removing and changing the injectors. Probably get myself a Series 2 PTU also, noticed there might be a group buy or i'll do what you did and order one from the States.

Hows the manual conversion coming?

LOL......at the moment its not. Its too cold...haha. Nah am waiting until I get rid of the donor car then I can think about it. Am still stuck between sticking it in somewhere to get the bones of the job dont then I can mess about with the finer parts like rev lights etc but will wait and see. I am gonna take the Viper wings to work tomorrow and get them prep'd and sprayed so thats something thats on the go as well....not enough hours in the day with going back to work as well.

 

Cheers John

I don't envy you prepping those wings, lots of wee nooks, i think the last guy who painted them was blind lol.

Aye well they do look kinda rough but I have a vodka drinking painter in the paintshop at work who always has time up his sleeves who is gonna paint them so thats half the battle. Just a bit worried fitting them as my garage is narrow and its a tight squeeze along the front of the car but will wait and see.

Are you going to put mesh in the grill to stop crap getting in.

Well I was wondering about that as there are quite a lot of electrics in behind the wings. I never thought of mesh right enough. Something i'll need to look into plus I need to get the bits cut out for the indicators as well. My car needs some time spent in at my work so I can get all the jobs done, 1) Manual Conversion, 2) Viper wings, 3)I have 2 pot either side lambo lights to fit, 4) need to get the rear spoiler merged/painted....ffs no time for fook all lol. 5) need to get the white car i'm breaking stripped as I am getting a bit of grief now at work. Anyways enough moaning lol
