More to update :)

First I fitted the Sump and the Flywheel Cover.

Sump Sealant


Sump Gasket


More Sump Sealant!


Fitted with mirror polished stainless steel hex bolts!




New Sump Plug and Gasket Ring.


Then I fitted the Oil Filter and the Distributor.


Then, with the help of some good mates, I finally got the Exhaust Manifold and Down Pipe off and replaced these with This little puppy!






Super stoked to get that lot out of the way!

Hopefully, this week I will get my Alternator back from being rebuilt and get everything else fitted and some fluids in her. Fingers crossed, she should be back on the road by next weekend :D :D :D

Oh, and a cheeky test fit of how the Inlet Manifold will look..............














Comments welcome!
