Excellent news there

I love seeing the pics. I'm almost tempted to brave the cold and have a day in the garage for a change now another work project is finished !

Seize the cold AB! No pain no gain... And no nice images for our fellow readers:)

Oh Good! The forum is back Looked scary those couple days.,

Got a bit busy today....
Too frustrated at work so I skipped the rest of the day after lunch and headed in my garage. Gotta love being the boss.....

First off here is the new thread made in my engine after the bolt snapped.



So I made my second try at bolting on my cylinder heads


Worked on my seat sliding mechanism. Brushed off the rust


knocked off the screws cause they were rusty and one was cut off



Replaced them with stainless steel ones. The head fits nicely in the rack and will stay put when the seat will be screwed into place later on.


Painted them with primer, two coats of paint and a protective gloss



Picked up my freshly restored wheels.. BLING BLING!!!




Cleaned out my replacement K-jet bough from jason (delorean12uk) . This is a volvo 260 part with a slightly wider air intake.)


Cleaned and polished its warm up regulator and placed the in injectors and cold start valve in a container with fresh Gasoline to soak it up for cleaning.



Here is the frame's state after the first coat of paint. Needs a few more patches and then the final coat will be applied.



Refurbished several metal parts from around


Came back in the house to brush a few more letter sets


and applied them onto my mats.
