This thread deserves more attention tbh. You should be mighty proud of yourself Rob :afro:

Its because he posts pics of proper stuff instead of talking crap.

Talk crap and you'll get 100 pages plus  :lipsrsealed: :laugh: :laugh:

Top project  :cool: :cool:

fitted my freshly powder coated subframe managed to get the fans mounted to the radiator and got my rear engine mount fitted

i re-routed my power steering so it runs through the pipe in the crossmember and tidied it up
just need to mount the bottle somewhere trying to make something up to fix to the radiator

took the alternator off as it does not move seems jammed also removed the lower inlet some paint in it
and the injectors wont fit so needs sanding down at work tomorrow

sorted the gear linkage got it bolted back on gears are very hard to find though needs setting up
exhaust is on but its not right fix that at a later date

did a little bit more painting on the head

just waiting for the uj joint so i can get the steering back on track
and a couple of engine bits that are getitng painted so i can bolt the inlet back on

little update today
got all the hoses plumbed in throttle body needed re-painting to never got managed to fit that
few brackets here and there
rad and fans fitted better
strut brace bolted on
lights fitted although the grill wont sit right on one side

heres one side sat nicely


heres the other side sticking otu slightly


also does this look normal or should it be sat back a bit more at the top


heres the rest of the pics from today enjoy see what you think nearly there now







turned the brake fluid resovoir around so the strut brace does not get in the way
and i need to find a way to mount the header tank might make a bracket to fit from the strut brace
