Here is the rest of the stuff I have to upload..
New braided brake lines which are ADR approved.
New genuine 140A alternator.
New Clubsport rotors and brake pads. I'm interested to see how dusty the DBA pads will be since I've never tried them before.
The heads after reconditioning. 3 angle valve seat cut, PSI springs, valve stem seals, shaved about .030" from memory.
Another reason for delays. December last year the bottom end was removed and all the pistons had worn through the teflon coating on the skirts.
New Silvolite 3.908" pistons (.010" bigger than stock so the block had to go back to the machine shop). Also upgrading to gen 4 rods with floating wrist pins.
The extra 0 gauge earth that my mate installed before selling the car to me. The routing always annoyed me so I re routed it so it's more out of the way now.
Before:
After:
Extra protection for the cable by wrapping it in 5/8 heater hose and engine loom tape (after I took the photo.
New to me leathery interior pieces.
The perks of having a big F off sandblasting setup at work. Extractors came up brand new!
After a quick coat of paint with VHT Flameproof Cast Iron Grey they look much better. I was going to ceramic coat them but didn't have 4 weeks to wait at the time of painting them myself.
As for now, the plan was to get everything ready 2 weeks ago then the tab for one of the alternator brackets had broken off the block. It was cracked already so just my luck.
The block went back to the machine shop so it could get welded back on but unfortunately one of the co owners of the machine shop passed away so I have no idea when it will get fixed now
