My First Corolla

[cuzzo]

When i was saying get rid of the wiring. I was meaning in the bay only and if you can disconnect it do that and keep it aside. if noy pull it through the firewall and tape it up in a round bundle. don't cut anything just yet until your ready to wire.

did you take photos of your test fit with the mounts?

Hey man

 

Nah i'm definatly not going to do any cutting. Othewise i'll have to pay Kevin a fortune to fix it LOL. I'm just going to see if i can unplug enough to pull the engine bay stuff out but if not then i'll take your suggestion ang put all the wires in a bag or something and tape it up nice and tidy so i can get it sprayed at least

 

And Luc, I didn't take any photos of the dummy fit, I was only going to take them when i do the actuall fit but i'll send them to you personally as soon as i do it :)

no worries mate looking forward to it! just glad they worked!

Well i thought i'd post up a bit of my progress in the last week or so

 

As previously mentioned, Mick & Marty came over to give me a hand cutting out that horrible rust spot and then welding up all the little useless holes

 

Since then i have basically removed everything from the engine bay, Brake booster & lines, Fuel lines (almost, still have to take the steering box out to remove the line) all wiring, removeable plates from the firewall wiper motor & washer bottle and all the little clips everywhere and also the front gaurds

 

I also spent a few minutes with the wire wheel to see how well it removed the paint, as you can see in the photos, it does a good job

 

So tomorrow i'll degrease the bay and cut the hole for the hydrolic clutch and then i can begin taking the paint off the rest :P

 

And also a pic of my new intercooler :P

 

Enjoy some pics

 

 

 

Cheers - Andrew

I'm keeping the colour on the down low at the moment but as soon as the engine bay is sprayed i'll post up the pics :wink:

[trav_555]

oo a surprise!!!

 

well guess what happened today?

 

my engine blew the f@$king head gasket!!!!

 

not your engine mine

 

so now i have to swap it in early and it wont have any extra mods done to it apart from valves re seated and and minimum head shave as i don't have time to work it out and my dads ranting on to me telling me not to take it down heaps

 

f@$king gay, i don't even have a different carbi yet so i have to use the stocko until i get it

 

you can probs tell I'm just a wee bit f@$king pissed off with my car and its a shitter cause i really wanted to do the engine up

 

o well looks like ill have to buy an ae71 and 4age it.
