Excellent. Keep us posted on the progress. Id spray something into the ports incase the vavles have stuck or anything. Then turn it over a few times by hand before starting it.

Now that all the sound deadening is removed from the bulkhead and heater matrix replaced, the dash is now back where it should be.



The inlet has been put back on the car with all new gaskets. Lubed up the bores with WD40 and turned it over without the plugs in just to get it all moving.





The plugs look a bit s**tty so replaced them. Once all was back together, she fired up first time and sounded sweet. Although, after 5 mins, she aquired a knocking noise. We are now investigating this.

Worst case, the engines shagged. That's not something worth killing it for. Engines are peanuts really.

Dash is now fully installed and looking sweet.



Swapped my electric windows for some winders. Not so much for weight saving but more for the retro style that i want.



Sealed the rear windows with clear silicone around the edges as they were letting in a bit of water.

Little update.
Had a cambelt/water pump change at the weekend so one less thing to worry about.
Upon draining the coolant system, it seems the rad is blocked in the expansion bottle. Even a compressed air line was stuggling to push the water out the bottom hose so we have a brand new nissens rad hopefully turning up today. We hope this will resolve the knocking noise from the head (we think it could be a result of coolant starvation to the lifters).
Once its all plumbed back together, we will be moving onto the chassis upgrades Smile

If you google about there's a way to remove the need for the keypad immobiliser in case you wanted to get rid of that and save a little bit of unnecessary weight.

So we still have this knocking noise. Strange because it sounds fine until it warms up.
Made a couple more purchases...






Very excited about these. Cant wait to see them fitted.
