Bolt up those pipes fully though to check fit .The pipe nearest the gear linkage rod ,LHS,where it goes into the tunnel .If the topmount bracket is not quite right ,level with the top of the pipe ,then when clamped in the bay it can rotate slightly and foul .....

SimonAuto for the cable ,although I may have an old serviceable one lying around .


Thanks Lee, just back from holiday so will get back onto it shortly.
Will check Simon Auto, thanks

Been a busy boy last week, sorted out my turbo wastegate actuator bracket so the turbo compressor housing now comes out at the right angle

Then assembled sub frame together although that was a pain as the galvanising built up thickness and nothing was fitting anymore...

Then finally fixed the water pipes

Then took day off on Friday

Added extra heat protection on slave cylinder and hydraulic pipes

Well done Cedric. Have you done this sort of thing before then or are you just having a go and getting on with it? Either way top marks fella.

Bit of an update (sorry Clee mainly about rust)

Fitted new master cylinder

DSC_0003.JPG


Then was looking into positioning the charge cooler Rad so removed front bumper and saw the state of the front sub frame etc which annoyed me really so decided to take care of it and removed main rad, front wishbones and hubs etc...

Most of it is actually just surface rust and cleaned well, except for last picture obviously... This will need a but more care, probably will do that at the same time as the door sills :(
