A couple more odds and sods done over the summer now.
First I decided to do a bit of a strip of the engine. Not intending too much here as I had myself done a cambelt and water pump change a few years ago now but not many miles ago. However once you start there is a temptation to just add an oil return to the sump for a turbo, maybe clean the head of all the carbon, and if the head and sump are off could put some forged rods in since they’re the weakpoint of the engine, and if doing rods might as well do bearings…. You can see how it’s easy to get carried away. For now the plan is just to clean up and paint the block as well as fit a new clutch.
Next up is some more playing with the 3d printer.
The first is out of a nervousness with all those open ports on the head so I designed and printed some covers which could be bolted loosely in place of the manifolds. They’ll also be useful when it comes to wire brushing and painting the block.
The second is just to add some personalisation to the car through the instrument cluster. These are still a work in progress but thought I would add some gauge rings to match some of the elements of the car.
Lastly a bit more cleaning and painting, this time the ppf and rear subframe.
