Bit more done, picked the VR block and head up so have been cleaning that up ready to paint it. Bought a full gasket set, new crack pipe and thermostat housing.
Picked a few bits up last night from Gaz (lowlifedubber) for a proper bargain price.
Need to get the crank pulley bolt undone, was told it was a pig to get undone when the engine is out of the car, me and a mate were standing on a 2 foot breaker bar and it still didn't budge. Gonna take it to my mates dads who's got a 1" drive impact gun to see if that will shift it.
Need to build the head up, cleaned all valves and brought the valve tool and grinding paste home from work so should get it done tomorrow.
Started cleaning the bay up a bit, there doesn't look to be any surface rust which is good, the whole car is solid which isn't normal for a mk3, it must have been taken care of previously.
Got the wire wheel to the drivers inner wing, found a couple of patches of surface rust so these were cleaned up etch primed then undersealed.
Pretty happy with the result, gonna get the other side done, then will decide what colour to paint them.
