Car looks amazing man. Very nice pick up.

thanks mate, appreciate the nice comments

i know how. a slightly mis aligned belt and the fact it doesnt have a bolt holding the balancer on...

oil change weekend before everything looked alright when i turned her over, ah well, good excuse for some new shiny bits

fitting the balancer means

a block of wood
a big fken hammer
beer
a lot of luck

Also applies to the rest of the car.

@Amos: Still want pics :p

haha sounds fun, my mate who used to be a mechanic said he should be able to get his hands on the tool to fit the balancer, so hopefully he does, i like the beer part haha

will be getting new powersteering at the same time as the old ones seen better days and a good excuse to maybe get new engine dress up and give the bay a proper cleaning

Also applies to the rest of the car.

haha alright mate just for you, i'll have a look and upload any pics i have that i havent already uploaded

Bikini car wash?

Yeah you don't get that with my VT... despite how well it's been looked after... I mean my girlfriend once attacked me with the hose when I was washing the car, but it's really not the same experience.

And man, that car is looking goooooood. How's the interior coming along?

so just a bit of an update, have been doing a bit of work her lately, at the moment stripping a bit of the engine down to replace/upgrade it

will be changing all the engine dress up, a new power steering pump and bracket, as well as a new harmonic balancer and hopefully a new radiator as well

i'll get some pics this weekend of the damage that's been done to the power steering pump/bracket as i was a little shocked at how severe it was

anyway heres a pic of the engine bay at the moment

and the radiator
