I would re-do the fuel lines from the tank while your in there! Someone did a good guide recently. But if the engine is out you could go the whole way with fewer joints? Just an idea. The lines under the at will be pretty crusty!!

A little progress this week. The gearbox was dropped off for its rebuild and the car has been booked into the paint booth for mid September. Lots to do in the meantime with the ECU pin swap, battery relocation to the rear and replacement of the steering rack.
I need to make a crank locking tool to swap the cam belt and I think I will swap the 7A exhaust cam back to the 3B cam for now until the turbo gets swapped out for something larger

I finally got the gearbox back from the refurbers. Excellent service from Tony at TR Transmissions in Dudley. He changed the input shaft main bearing, the diff bearings, rear bearing, replaced one syncro and all the seals for £250 inclusive.. Bargain!
The new Sachs clutch was mounted and the engine and gearbox went back in as one unit yesterday. There was only very light surface marks from the last clutch and no scoring, so I used some emery cloth to clean the flywheel surface. Fingers crossed the new sintered friction plate will bite nicely and bed in.
Trial fit of the 3" downpipe. I needed to cut and re-weld the wastegate pipe to get it to line up

I ordered new knock detectors from Euro Car Parts. Due to the supplier sending an incorrect part, I ended up with three of the green sensors free of charge
I've also refurbed the rear calipers and replaced the handbrake cables. Another fun job ticked off the list91 Modded 3B

I'd take pictures, but I'm working on my back under the car on axle stands with sh*t falling in my eyes, so the camera didn't come to mindLast edited by SteveH; 29 August 2012, 20:50.91 Modded 3B

The bay is looking great. I like the black intake/valve cover making the red coils pop.
