One more thing, how i can repair my dash every thing is good with it except one corner you can see in marked area. suggestions are welcomed.

Progress on the weekend

 

Saturday Progress – it was freaking cold there temp was near -1°C but still managed to work

1. Steering Rack changed - previous one was in very bad shape.

2. Steering arms reused. Both were in good condition

3. Lower Control arms changed

4. Front struts one of them changed because it was damaged.

5. Springs changed front/back previous ones were wielded 2 inch packing was placed. Now packing is removed and new springs in place

6. Shock absorbers are replaced.

 

Day ended with washing engine bay, using degreasers and rest of the car cleaned up there was huge deposit of mud underneath.

Sunday it was little bit dedicated for dash/ electrical started my work bit late

1. Opened the dash and there was huge amount of dust.

2. Tried to clean it up with air pressure but all in vain. Then used the paint brush and all done manually. Due to cold/bad light winded up my work just screwing back the parts. And found that there is some problem with indicators/ break switch/ hand break switch/ reverse light cause none of them working now….lol

 

Now again have to wait for 5 office working days. Photos are on the way will be posting in a while.

Ah yes old wiring, do not get me started. It seems the more you mess with it, the less things work! :bash:

@LittleRedSpirit

100% Agreed with you. But here electricians are really annoying. they don't care about the clips just cut the wire rejoin and insulate with tape and continue to work. but i am trying to remove such joints.

Here you can see rust and grease

 

 

Very Bad in condition

 

 

 

Dash dust (ughh)

Man that's a lot of Dust in the Dash!

 

Comin' along nicely man. Keep it up. :thumbsup:

 

Josh :cool:

Tomorrow I am going to overhaul the engine. There is some noise in timing chain along with that i am going to replace rings and valves. If all goes well we will also change the clutch set(Clutch Plates, Pressure Plate and clutch bearing)

 

Hope for the best.

Hi Guys, one important news.

 

Motor is approximately ready today we will put it in. updates regarding the motor overhauling are on the way. will be posting them in a while.

Apologies for the delay.

 

Photos when we started our work

 

 

In Rocker arms Cover you can see that water and oil mixed in yellow color

 

Block Assembly

 

Pistons not in good shape 2 of them were quite rough from sides

Pistons were at standard size "0"

 

Crank Shaft was already at "0.25"

Valves were in very bad shape you can see in pics.

Are you just gonna overhaul the engine or give it a bit more grunt?
