Work has been slow but I have been doing stuff. As soon as my rod bearings and oil pan gasket come in the mail the motor will be ready to be put back in. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/DSCF0063.jpg Also if anyone has a mk1 and knows how the trunk lid should be properly mounte...

Well we had about 3inches last week and it just started back up 2 hours ago. Already at about 4inches. How is everyone else doing with the snow if any? Frankly I hate it!!

Oh man , was so silly It made me want it , wish it was closer

After some measurements and such. I will be finding out tomorrow if a friend can help me out with a welding job. The 2 main oil feeds you can see on the top of the block, the one closest to the pulley side will need to be completely welded shut. The larger main will need about half a cm added to the...

Well my memory is pretty good when assembling stuff. Just can't let other people help that are to lazy to leave me clues haha.

A few people online were discussing a 1.8 head on the 1.7block and you had to modify the oil feeder holes for the 2 to match up (not sure what they are called), but my build is the other way around so ill probably have to do the same stuff backwards. Putting it back together is going a lot slower th...

Both blocks seam to use the same crankshaft and bearing size to. Also thanks :P It would have been a lot sho...

To finish off the night , pistons all clean. I did snap a ring on one of them but lucky I have a few spares.

Spent most of the day cleaning the bay , didn't actually take a pic of my progress but ohwells http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/DSCF0052.jpg finally wrapped the other speaker housing for the trunk so the trunk is almost done , just got to figure out how to mount the center cove...

The block is finally free, however piston 3's bearings melts to the shaft and rod.. Did get some cosmetics done though. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/DSCF0023.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/DSCF0024.jpg http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa...

Engine out , front grill , emblem and bolts painted and put back on. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/DSCF0040.jpg Finished up the last of the flares. http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g127/killa-be-me/Mk1/DSCF0045.jpg Friend stopped by and wanted to help , so he got this nice ...
