Soooo bit of an update
Decided to join the 20VT crew
Found an AGU lump i couldn't say no too. 95k, Emisions report, New timing belt, waterpump, guides and tensioners, with bill for £300 to do the work. All for £450
Came with everything for the conversion from the doner car, including bits i dont need and can sell on to recoup some money back
Have gearbox, driveshafts, AC pump, hubs + starter all for sale for next to nothing, so if you want just ask
Seeing as its had a new belt etc, and emissons report was bang on, not going to strip the head atm.
Sat to work, stripped the rest of the engine to bits ready for cleaning and paint, everything is in pritty decent nic, apart from a bit of burnt oil in the rocker, all the cams and tappets look good, no visible wear or any of the lobes worn.
Everything all labled and ready for cleaning
Only bad thing i found was this.....
Turbo cracked all the way through to the wastegate, so ready for the bin.... But after a grumpy phonecall to the seller he refunded me £50 for the turbo... So cant complain in all fairness.
Pritty much all the parts sourced now, Big thanks to Brad who helped a hell of alot!! New wings and possibly vento front going on at the same time also, then going to paint. Decided to go the whole hog, you only live once
