car is on a hoist ready to start getting work done on it again 

[Shoota_77]

Woo hoo, nearly back in action!  Heading in the right direction anyway!

 

[r32-25t]

Its hopefully going to actually start working on it again 

[r32-25t]

I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there 

pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 

[Shoota_77]

Enjoy Japan!  Need someone to carry your bags........??

Bugger....  Thought I was on there for a second!

When I put the engine in last time I hated that every piece of aluminum looked different, I took every thing to adept metal polishing and got them all satin polished (basically brushed) 

turbo before and after 

plenum before and after, I got everything else done as well, these photos just show the biggest difference

Sorry to disappoint but there won't be a single on this car while I own it

Just a reminder for everyone 😂

It looks even better in Person

Decided to remove the clutch booster as it’s more things that can go wrong and it frees up a lot of room and means less vacuum lines running around the engine bay 

old one out and on the floor 

new one ready to go back in 

installed! I haven’t swapped the slave onto it yet, I will wait until the engine and box are in to see if I need to change the line or any thing

This must be my problem, I can smell fuel in the driver rear wheel well sometimes.

More then likely or the cap isn’t sealing properly

al the shiny parts bolted on to the engine 

the first time for a long time that the engine and the car have been in the same place

Love this!

Also slightly annoyed the reaction shows a love heart, but only calls it a like!

Keen to see it in the engine bay and running!

Me too. Apparently the new version of Invision will allow some customisation so look forward to a 'Love' reaction and a new 'Like' icon.
