Well decided it was high time to get on with some of the build, Firstly the new oil pump was fitted;

Old;

New;

Fitted all the front crank seals, plate, sump and rocker cover.

Cleaned up the dizzy;

Started on the Inlet manifold;

Stripped it, cleaned, rubbed down and masked up. Then put on gas mark 5 !! haha

Tested my crackle paint skills on the bottom of the manifold

Dismantled the loom from the fuel rail and cleaned it.

Once I had done the top side of the inlet manifold/Swedish plenum I fitted it

Then got my nice clean injectors/fuel rail back on.

Tomorrow the other side!

Well today it was the throttle assemblies turn.

Stripped it all

Cleaned and painted

All the other parts buffed and cleaned

Assembled

And back on

Fitted the turbo and manifold

Forgot to take pics of before for you…but it wasn’t pretty!!

Took it out into the light so I could see my handy work.

Today I had a shot at my zinc plating kit…..been putting it off for ages cos it looks confusing!

Had a wee break to go and pick up the bloody X5……hopefully I have a mate that can sort it out, he’s pretty handy!! (bigyin) And while I was out I picked up the stuff from the powder coater.

Finished for the day….

Right everytime I bolt something onto this thing it gets heavier…..that little step at the front of the shed is beginning to be a right pain!!! I need to lift this thing myself

But..... 3 foot suspension set up is far too high IMO, and you'll never get the power down with those 4 inch wheels :lol:
