I think the colour coding inside would look really good if you had cream interior

*****Update 16/4/06******

Xr2i back from the dead with another engine.

Last week i helped Remove the old engine and spent 3 hours cleaning the engine bay.

Old engine covered in milk chocolate oil :oooh:

New engine in

Runs nice but i do miss the kent cam extra pull. Sorted the clutch while gearbox was off and fitted a new water pump. Still have to do oil change.

But today i removed the front bumper to send it to be resprayed.

Bit rusty but nothing to major for a J reg

pulled the blue stripe off and removed the horid glue. The white bits is where the paint chiped off

Then used gav's old rs bumper as a spare

Any comments welcome
Cheers Knuckles :wink:

good to hear you sorted it

by **xiphon** on Tue Apr 18, 2006 1:47 pm

Speaking from experience - I went and did the the halfrauds spray-paint on my lil' Fezzy - then decided 3 months later it actually did look ghastly. So I'm slowly replacing the "blue" bits with originals (it's costing me a few bob... but an important lesson...).

Only a few more parts to get, and Jano [OddKid?] is supplying me with them (cheers mate!)

You won't like it in 3 or 4 months time - £5 says so :-P

by **Ghost** on Tue Apr 18, 2006 2:10 pm

you havent read the whole post or looked at the dates have you :lol:

the sprayed bits were changed within a matter of weeks from when they were done

so give me my fiver

by **knuckles** on Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:36 pm

Wednesday i got my oil changed for a £10 which also included getting a rounded off sump plug off :rolleyes:

I used some engine flush and run it for 15 mins at high revs like it says on the tin. It Really done it a world of good. Cleaned all the sludgy oil out also quietened the hydrolic lifters too. :wink:

purrs like a dream now.

good man, getting there aint it

by **knuckles** on Wed May 24, 2006 2:49 pm

Bit of a update - Got round to fitting the full stainless steel Mongoose exhaust and painting my rear brake drums. Still waiting for the rain to stop 5 days later so i can paint the front calipers red.

Just simply used a wire brush to remove rust and flakey stuff then went at it with black smooth hamerite.

Few pics of the mongoose.

The finished result with wheel fitted

Also i went out to my car after it stop raining to find my passenger footwell soaking wet. A little more investigating found this .....

Water leaking through window rubber

The water has been running down a slight hole around the bottom of the windscreen rubber and has collected there and made a hole. I can see daylight through the inner front wing, it has rusted through both pannels.

I will use some bathroom sealant around the hole along the window until i can afford to get the hole welded up .....

i dread to think what i will find behind my petrol filler pannel. :cry:

by **muz** on Wed May 24, 2006 3:31 pm

Its looking good at the mo mate. I have a feeling then the cars not as solid as you thought, just like mine. Mine was in for MOT last week and my bro got it up on the ramp looked at the floor and laughed saying " f**k me, im glad I sold this" :lol:

by **Ghost** on Wed May 24, 2006 11:34 pm

give me a few weeks and ill get the welder up and running, and we'll get the whole car sorted!! :wink:

by **AW3K** on Thu May 25, 2006 9:20 am

Saw the car at fitp , it looked top bommy, shame about the rust, but you will get it sorted am sure

have you fitted the warning light and the buzzer yet?

Andy

by **knuckles** on Fri May 26, 2006 2:03 pm

AW3K :have you fitted the warning light and the buzzer yet?

I been too busy getting water out off my footwell. Bathroom sealant has stopped water getting in for now but looks horid around the window.

Ghost : give me a few weeks and ill get the welder up and running, and we'll get the whole car sorted!!

Cheers dude

I would prefer a professional like yourself to do it. Dont want charles making a mess of it ....

by **knuckles** on Mon Jun 05, 2006 4:36 pm

Hi - Little more progress with the front brakes.

Used the foliatec brake caliper paint set £24.99 from halfords. The set includes brake cleaner, red caliper paint, and paint hardener.

The foliatec sets come in loads of colours (red,blue,yellow,orange,green,silver,black) and is also suitable for engine painting and alloy wheels too.
Turned out better than just using hammerite paint.

by **Ghost** on Tue Jun 06, 2006 12:09 am

so you didnt need your wire brush yet then mate?
