Re: my frst 2010 update
right as the weather has picked up i started on the rs me and my mate pulled the engine out then pressure washed the bay down to get rid of the dirt and grit then i attacked it with a metal wire brush attachment on my angle grind then primed it all and sprayed it back up red im delighted with the finish i took pics but forgot to take one of it finished lol i also took the clutch and flywheel off my old engine and fitted it to my new one bought off cowie then swapped my t3 down pipe for the one i bought off rob pace its much better stainless all the way through now with out any welds and my mate polished and waxed the car for me and i got round to fitting my gauge pod i got off ratspeed but didint wire in the oil pressure gauge i got off him to or the [ERRR] battery wiring
finally some pics more will follow over the next few weeks

my old pod mite sell it

engine coming out

bay being washed

now primed

old lump

new lump with flywheel on

four paddle i got cheap off yano

all polished

and finally what is this on the bulk head is this the reason my heater doesnt work? this is how i found it with nothing coming out of it
