Tonight: front off, coolant out, engine and gearbox out, split, stripped down appropriately.

To order shortly:

Flywheel end crank oil seal
Cambelt kit
Water pump
Cam cover seal
Oil filter

Dash out next session.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Cheers for the offer, but I'm going genuine on this occasion - keeping the oil in is a bit important when mixing it up with the likes of R35 GTRs, GT2s and about a million M3s  :grin:

As it stands tonight:



Dash out:



I've also unbolted the steering column and put in some washers to lower it, which will need some adjusting when the new seat goes in, to make sure it's right.

What next, eh?
