couple more photo's.

here is my bellhousing.. its had 10mm machined off the front face.

 

here is the adaptor plate.. since this its had studs installed and couple of holes got redrilled.

 

and here is my flake gun to spray out those flakes in the abover pictures.

 

 

jst to add beerhead i haven't quite finished the dizzy mount i haven't added a bolt hole for timing adjustment.. but yeah the idea is there.

 

will be hitting up some bodywork today.. more pics tonight.

This thing is moving along nicely, a great read.

 

It's gonna be one tough little car. Love that your doing all the fab work yourself, wish I had those skills.

Hey Luc,

 

Looks like the beast will live again soooooonnnnnn !!!. The piccies don't do justice to how much time the mod work takes.

 

Keep up the good work, talk later. Al :) :hmm:

really intuitive mate, keep up the good work bud

stoked on how the mounts look man well done. prob catch you tommorrow. i need to get my skills up with the sander again.

cheers guys much appreciated..

 

so i didn't get heaps done today... removed roof lining

removed the black gooey shite that sticks the windows in.. this took ages and tried my patience big time.

removed rear bumper and masked the car up.

 

will do some panel beating tmoz morning and some bog work. hope to have the first coat of high build primer down tomorrow arvo.. bit optimistic methinks though.

 

well didn't get it primed... got too sunburnt and also i want to leave the bog a bit to set...

so turns out rain is due at the end of the week so i need to get it primed sometime this week.. its very close to being ready for primer..

 

well today i finished my sump off. cleaned it up sandblast and powdercoat...

 

also redrilled the bell plate and now it fits like a glove!!

 

and also powdercoated the engine mounts.

 

i also welded the pipes onto the intake flange. i have the throttle body tube designs done. jst need to fab em out.

pics..

 

 

 

 

is there any seepage in the sumo now?

dunnu... won't know till it goes on the car... i welded it up pretty good... but i won't know until there is oil pressure.

If you want to find out if the sump leaks before it goes in the car, fill it with Kerosene. Will seep thru any pinholes/ cracks faster than oil.

hmmm used water and its all good... that seeps quicker than oil... but its the pressure i worry about.

cars coming along nicely dude, looked gd today.

 

Cheers

there wouldn't be much pressure in the sump though as its basically a drain bowl, the pressure is in the galleries.
