greenmac80 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Report Posted March 25, 2008 Hmm started pulling my motor apart today... pulled all of the front end apart and then proceeded to take the head off. when i took the rocker off i found that all the problem seems to be is that a push rod had jumped off its rocker has this happened to anyone before?

greenmac80 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Posted March 29, 2008 Yeah a mate and i did it. The blocks of these cars are quite light! and i don't have access to a crane! Ok brake booster off today... only thing left now is to take off the steering rack! Yes everyone i am painting the bay hence why everything is getting stripped! I'm painting the engine bay Phantom Black. then trimming the motor in red and lots of polish! should look good! also hiding the wiring and installing bonnet washers instead of the crappy stock window washers! Gas bonnet lifters and a pressure switch light for night time! And maybe a green neon behind my grill! Anyway here is another pic of the car atm! Quote
