Bank holiday weekend update...

just for saintaai

A comparison between the old lower engine mount and the new one

old:


new:


primered and painted the sides of the engine bay





i had been toying with the idea of painting the slam panel a different colour to the rest of the car and decided to try gloss black



I quite like it and when the rest of the car is back together it should look mean as fook

test fitting with the freshly painted morrette



But, the main part of this updaye is that the engine is now back into the car, exhaust and clutch are reconnected.





There are a few other thing i need to do, like change pipe clips for jubliee ones etc but TBH I'm now waiting for my new rad, samco water hoses and the TB kit.

father thats awsome front panel looks sweet as to

Yeah that what I thought.

I just wanted to do something different, maybe to catch you eye and it certainly does that.

My nissens uprated radiator has arrived along with the SS catch tank this morning

Can't wait to get them fitted. Just need the samco hoses to arrive now!

dude thats lookin fuckin cool


goood choice on the colours

cant wait to see this running now

ps its coming togetehr very quickly/nicely so keep on it

Looks like things are moving quickly, will be very interested to see this when its finished.

Radiator was fitted last night along with bolting up the slam panel.

Had a bit of a hickup with the rebuild. Went to put the gear linkages back on and what I thought was a good linkage actually was fucked. There are three gear linkages on a 106. Two short ones and a long one. All three are required.

So, I've just put the order in for some new Group N linkages

heres a pic



So again I'm waiting for parts.

Things i need to arrive are :

Samco coolant hose kit
Group N Gearlinkages
Throttle bodies & Electrics (fooking jenvey suck at order management)

Everything else I have, thats needed to put everything back together

looking very very good ste.

i bet your bank account has taken a right beating!

yeah just a little bit, but I'm not planning of getting rid of the car anytime soon so I want it to be as good as I can get it mechanically.

These came today

I'm so moist

nice one - I WANT A SAMCO KEYRING

they loook f'ing mint dude


nez i have a piece of samco abut 3" long which i cant think of a use for so i will make ya one when i get a min haha

sweet father dont forget though

Tonights update :

Driveshafts fitted & bottom balljoints put back in and bolted up, samco hoses fitted. Fabricated a bracket for the catch tak and plumbed the 1st of two breathers in.





waiting for gearlinkages now and then it will be all TB's and ECU work.
