What a week, or it seems like it.
Engine bay nice, clean and tidy. On inspection of the steering rack, the gaiter needed replacing, so i decided to rebuild to pop in a coupe rack. It needed cleaning, new gaiter and bush.
Replaced the master cylinder, fitted new brake pipes, got the wiring back in.
In between other jobs, like fixing a rattle in the drivers door, i got the wire brush out and started to clean up the d/s sill. Wish I hadnt now, I ended up having to replace the rear section of the sil. Repair inner and outer sections. I tried for the first time Wayside copper weld through primer.
http://www.waysideadhesives.com i must say it works far better than the zinc product i used before.
Hopefully today the engine will be back in, yesterday I replaced the water pump as there was some play in the old one eventhough it only had done about a 1000 miles or so.
Coming jobs this week, collect and fit recored VX rad, fit oil coller on it. Hopefully my new middle exhaust section will be ready too.
I will prob end up doing the other rear sill too.
Will get the car's ass in the air and sort that out too. Clean and sort out rear brakes. New pipes all round.
Ill let you know how i get on.
