right had a bit of a slow weekend last week as i didnt get in there to do much on the car due to working saturday! done some more today refitted the engine made the gearbox mount fitted the poly mount in the rear mounting clearanced the left chassis rail to clear the gearbox just bending the seam over was sufficient to gain decent clearance fitted alternator startor motor radiator (decided to use the primera radiator which is twice the size of the micra one) this required the slam panel reshaping wich took quite a while and is not perfect but will do for now may make a new one later when the conversion is done. what else oh yeah, fitted the clutch cable speedo cable accelerator cable the fuel feed the inlet pipe and afm and heater hoses,think thats it for today!
tommorows jobs fit fuel return (need some more pipe) fit rad top pipe had to mod the standard fit with some fittings from work but will replace these with silicone later they are just to get it up and running! fit the carbon cannister the exhaust manifold (nice stainless 4 to 1) fit the power steering pump (need some pipe for this aswell for the fluid return) refit the bonnet connect the brake servo hose and the screen washer hose, then its time to fit the gtir calipers and primera discs and bleed the brakes.
think thatll be it for tommorrow but if i get time ill try to get the drive shfts in so i can measure them for the new shafts but only if i get time
after that lot i should be in a position to start the wiring but i will probably give that a whole weekend at least then it should just be a case of re filling the engine and baox with oil filling the rad and system with coolant and it should hopefully be ready for a trial fire up!
then will be the agonising wait for the drive shafts to arrive!
but im trying not to rush things if i can help it so a good wait for the shafts should give me time to make sure all the other bits ive done work ok!
