[mr_fish]

Guna be some interesting when you put that turbo on blow for the first time.

Have you just got to build the engine up now? Or are you waiting on anything else now?

When is the install date?

Top work though

[Jimbo]

Yeh, build the lump back up its currently stripped head off etc.
Need to get a few parts cambelt waterpump clutch among a few small other bits. Block painted some leyland tractor blue haha

[Frosty]

Coming on nicely mate. Looks a nice shade of blue that! Defo making me want to paint my block

Will hopefully be over on the weekend to have a ganders

[Jimbo]

I just hope being a typical xud it doesnt piss oil everywhere, should be ok im replacing most seals/gaskets

[Frosty]

Should be ok. You doing all the seals etc I did on mine engine and mine seems pretty good tbf apart from very slight sump leak I think.

[Jimbo]

Yeah pretty much all of them
Both crank seals, obviously.head gasket, sump rocker cover, ive put some rtv sealer on the vac pump too hopefully stop that leaking, cos that makes a mess doen back :/

[mikey b]

Here are some pics of James doing done work lol !!!
And a pic of the nice shiny rocker cover I have finished for you good old tractor paint looking good and the turbo down pipe measuring device

[mr_fish]

First time ive seen James in overalls.

[mikey b]

He's concentrating there

[Tom]

Whos the 12 year old stripping down that head?

[Jimbo]

Ey at least im doin it myself tom (you asked for that )ahaha
But seriously mike gotta stop taking random photo's when im not with it/looking like a mong!

[mr_fish]

Leyland tractor blue? oh dear, just depreciated the whole build. :S

The head going for a polish up?

[Jimbo]

You no I havent a clue about tractors mark, but if its anything to do with British Leyland cars I can imagine there shit lol,

Looks alright tho I think, heads been cleaned up and rocker cover slightly polished

[mr_fish]

If it was a in Ford Tractor blue on the other hand.....haha.

Nah looks good and rocker came up nice too. Did fancy doing something like that on mine though I don't really have enough patience. Function over form (or something, thats what I go by).

[Tom]

Well played sir, well played! Nice progress though.

[Jimbo]

Cheers, getting there slowly tryin to do it all properly

[Jimbo]

UPDATE: the donor car is now stripped and ready to go, literally everything was taken from this.




Also realised there isnt many pictures of the car in this thread, so here's a few not clean and lost challengers back on clones atm.

[mikey b]

Was a fun morning did you get a pic if frost doing a jump on the roof

[zx_volcane]

Is that a semi flexi oil drain?

Looks useful to get it pointing where you want

[Jimbo]

Got a few more pics mike ill have a look in a bit

Yeah suppose its kind of flexi, wouldnt get a massive amount but enough to be helpful

Going to bolt head on next and finish building the lump up, im slacking really :/

[Jimbo]

[Craigus]

What a minter!

[mikey b]

Think it's got a few dents to polish out now lol

[Jimbo]

No off to scrap land, where it doesnt belong.
If some chav hadnt ruined it, it may have been saveable

No ph1 deserves the scrap yard

[mikey b]

[Jimbo]

Nothing amazing
Head is back on,so is sump, aux setup,pump
Gonna get turbo and inlet on tomoro.
