Not had much time lately on this, been spending too much time doing uni work (hope the capper forgives me) anyhoo some cool bits arrived the other day:
So I can now get the new pinto running. Snapped the old one - was too brittle
Woot some fun stuff, 2" lowering blocks, will get the front slammed to suit, should make speedbumps interesting
Started getting the old boat anchor out as it was holding oil as well as the exxon valdeez, but obviously nothing is straight forward with OSF's and I forgot to unbolt the last bolt holding the torque converter plate to the engine, then proceeded to spend hours trying to get the engine out with it still bolted in at the bottom
....
Mixed feelings.
= Good.
Leaving the gearbox in the car = bad. Should have followed a mate' advice and taken it out with the box, d'oh. Fitting the engine back in is gonna be a pain in the goddamn ass, seeing how i'm working on my own and don't have a helper monkey to push the box up. Ho hum, this is gonna be fun.
So yeah jus a lil update.
