More trim painting
First did it this way

Then found a better way, by removing all the trim and painting it.

I bought some adhesive double sided tape to stick the trim the the car. I've a few peices on and I am going to see if it can stand up the the heat.


I also painted this

Stupid fuel intake line got twisted when I removed it, and then it broke off as I was tightening it for re-assembly.

Does anyone know what a fuel rail is worth (so I can bargain with my local overpriced junkyard)?

What goes in here?

Am I missing something here?

Good condition, original, just heavy, no need to go the gym today :D

Original gaskets look in good shape.

More to come!
 
The toothpaste is not going to work on those lenses - they are 'crazed'. That goes all the way thru the plastic. Sorry.

The car looks great though!
 
Good progress. Keep up the hard work.


Forgive my ignorance, what's an "N" license?


I'm considering moving to Vancouver or Victoria in the near future.
 
And now for some videos I made in June when the car was on temp insurance
if video is not available, just wait a bit, I just uploaded them.

recorded on my camera but it switched to low quality on its own. :grrr:
 
Changed the front crank seal. used the Rope trick, it works like a charm!

IMG_4706.jpg

stuffed rope into the cylinder in the compression stroke(1st cam lobe straight up).

IMG_4707.jpg

turn your socket in the crank pulley. To losen it the cam turns towards the passenger side(as shown).

IMG_4705.jpg

Removed the crank bolt on the pulley. Its 24mm and I used a long breaker bar to help.

IMG_4708.jpg


intermediate shaft leaking too?
IMG_4711.jpg


IMG_4713.jpg

Crank seal leaks below seal.

IMG_4714.jpg

Got the old seal out, and put new one in with a thin layer of RTV on the outside ring.

IMG_4716.jpg

putting the belt back on. I put a drill bit in the tensioner to hold the slack back. Its easier on reassembly that way.

IMG_4717.jpg


IMG_4718.jpg

Now your finished. (well not if you spot the mistake I made :D)

Next, removing the sunroof panel
