Looks like a nice base to work on, didnt realize the b5 looked so much like the BP motor.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Re: Marc's Sooty 2.0 - Autozam AZ-3 1.5 DOHC
Had some more time today to start working loose the rear subframe.
What a pleasure working on the mechanics of this car! All the bolts in the process of rear subframe removal came off without heat, violence or cutting Even the caged nuts on the body attachment of the trailing arms came off. Also I see this car has the cool trailing arms too. All loosened up ready for my refurbed and poly bushed subframe to go on. BUT I need to recover some rear disc handbrake cables first from the old car.

Buy new e-brake cables if you can. They're not that expensive and it really is worth it.

Re: Marc's Sooty 2.0 - Autozam AZ-3 1.5 DOHC
Thanks guys. Yep that's another project all together, a longer term one haha. More on that later
Funky interior pics:
My refurbed subframe with wytbushings/polybushes has been installed complete with disc conversion. I HATE drum brakes! Had to swap over the v6 handbrake cables too. Gave them a clean up too. Loads of things have been painted with POR-15 and hammerite.
Waiting for a replacement DS caliper to arrive, my bleed nipple sheared, then tried using an extractor which also sheared off
I'll have to put up pics of my under side soon, looking good... What a pleasure working on a non rotten car!
I've also phoned up about windscreen replacement £120 new plus vat (plus fitting I guess). £60 for a transplant from the old car. First I have to tackle the roof welding.
So you have a hole, here's what you do:
fill it with bog roll to catch moisture and encourage rust
pile in filler several cm thick
paint
Good job:
Smiley face haha:
Plan is to cut donor section out of old car and weld in. Should be exciting lol
And my other treat isn't so bad, the previous owner who did this needs to be banned from car work!
Looks easy enough to patch in.
Got a nice new bottle of pureshield argon ready for action. Need to pick up some mild steel welding rods and get TIGing.
