Despite some claims it's ok if you mark it the speed they rotate at it just won't happen an nth of a degree is enough to ruin them. You can rebuild them at home easy enough but you will need them balanced which sadly isn't cheap.

Haha Nothing new there think the car will be off the rd longer than I thought

Cheers Mark I'll pm yea

If I change the turbo seals over one do I need to have the turbo balanced or are thay good to go and two when bolting down should thay be torgue down or just tightened down

Welcome mate as eggs say get them photos up that the law on here

Livingstones is what Iv gone with under classic

The rest of the candy here

As for the bodywork if im about when you do i dont mind giving you a helping hand mate. The first thing that you face is gettin rid of that celli single pk paint that you put on there.with this type of paint especially a pearl.its all in the prep.your going to need a really decent two pk primmer to block down and poss a sealer to stop solvent attack. When you thinking of doing. I have a decent gun you can borrow ect.

Cheers for the bud I haven't got a clue when I'm doing the paint I'll be just take a wks holiday I deff need a sealer as she been done 2 times before this time I'm not going too rush it not like last time as I wanted it done for coventry witch was my goal at the time gun wise iv got 3-4 here 0.8 and 4.0 gravity feed so I'm good on them 1st job is the engine sort her out

Could you get one of those gazebos what could go up on a hard ground - like block paving

Iv just ordered 3 lots of tarpaulins 18x12 and 8x timber that will please the neighbours putting that up

Well had a good look at the engine today deff got my work cut out on this one the lad didn't look after this one at all sump looks as it's been leaking for a long time belts shot needs engine mounts both O2 sencers turbo seals list goes on and on im confused over the pipe work of the hard pipes but I'll ask later when I come too putting them on as Iv got head like a seive

Looking forward to seeing it done Ted, my mate looked at doing his car in candy red, make sure you do plenty of research on the net beforehand as it's apparently a bit of a pain to do

Your not wrong there baz been haveing a chatt with the paint company and he sorted the silver that works with the candy red when you look at the red it looks so thin but thay given me the mix ratio for it but deff have to do a tester 1st as it's got too be 4-5 layers

How much?

That one 250.00 but there are cheaper ones iv seen without windows under 200

I think I'm going to do mine myself as well, I'm going to wait till I've got a garage though first.

Iv got one but its small I can just get the car in I was looking at one of these and it's not big money

Yes mate but this time I'll take my time and take wings bonnet doors and the bumpers all off and as the engine out in side the engine bay no rush this time

I think if your engine if like that, you'll have running issues lol

Poss a bit of vac leake and water loss it be fine

Well this is how I want it engine wise it's not too everyone's tast im still waiting for the glitter silver too turn up to use as the base and the last 3 lts of the candy

Well the tt engine here so 1st job compression test on it if all ok with numbers I'll start breaking the engine down and replace gaskets and seals new injectors and hoses also the candy paint here looks nice just waiting for the rest to turn up and got too pay for some gear next wk happy days
