Dude, this car has been a champion effort by you aye. You've done a mad job and heaps of it yourself. I hope you get the s**t going soon!

Just go down to a pick a part style wreckers with your tools, camera, paper & pen, slowly dismantle an engine, pulling it down step by step, writing down what goes where & take pics. You will then be able to work it out. Grab a couple of little bits if you need to while your there.

This is the reason when i pull anything apart, i try to have a couple of bags of freezer bags on hand & a marker or paper & pen. Bolts for 1 item, eg sump, go into 1 bag, get label & tie it up. Then next part's bolts go into another bag, a label & tie it up. When it comes time to re-assemble, only open up one bag of bolts & bits at a time, sort that part & then move onto the next.

I also take lots of pics when pulling bits apart so i can see how it goes back together, and to show record of all the work i've done. I think i have about 3gb of pics @ 2mega pixel of stuff i've worked on for my car's over the last 5 years lol.

Glad to read that you have not given up, keep ya chin up, you will complete it & then be able to drive it & enjoy it!

Cheers

This is some inspiration i have awarded myself a tad early of christmas.



Thanks Wade Cams for my 1673.

Just awaiting my Short Shifter from the USA which i got for a bargin due to the strong aussie $$$.

Regards.

I left a box of zip top bags in that EB I sold you, learn to use them and label them when building an engine :p

ZIP TOP bags FTW!!!


hey michael, dont you still have that motor that you were trying to sell? why not just throw that motor in?

Haha the EB is lonnggg gone. I took the good bushes, interior and electric windows out. i did use some of those bags but they were buggered from the sun or heat as they stuck together and ripped when i separated most of them.

It's up to coast now, i traded it for an EL engine with a worked AU head and other belt set up parts, but it turned out to be worth scrap metal as the head was cracked and must have been put together by a moron as it was missing a timing chain guide and had no sump gasket.

I the only thing i got that i can use is was a serpentine belt tensioner which might turn out to squelch.... I was scared when i first saw this thing with steel toe work boots in way to tight hipster slacks and tight singlet with a pink star on it which disturbingly revealed it's gut and more crack then one could possibly stand.

I wouldn't trust this person as he is a weird and dodgy guy, they said they would post me the parts they hadn't yet organised after over a week then changed there mind and story many times and said they would pay me cash then stopped talking to me all together.

I wont say who the above person is cause ill probably get in trouble.

I do have a personal don't trade or sell person list thou.

Thats my rant

Im currently working with fairmont54 to get my engine together.

Regards.

It's not the motor it's just the belt set up, plus i just rebuilt the bottom end!

Im getting there, slowly...

Regards.

those 2 are one and the same lol. i too have had major issues with her, with the whole, ill take thatm and ill pick them up tomorrow when i visit a friend a few streets away... never shows up then dissapears for 2 months then comes back saying she is a cruise organiser.... never seen her since lol

SHH huggie your going to get my in trouble

dont stress too much, i have b**ch about my fair share of people, the way i see it, if someone keeps you going for months on end and doesnt intend to follow through with a sals (of 4 sales rather) then i believe they should be named and shamed. we are a community here, and just like your neighbours you dont want someone dodgy living near you, i dont want these sort of people in our community... *end rant* atleast when i go to buy something and i dont have the cash in my bank i tell the people to accept an offer if they have cash just incase i cant get a hold of the cash in time, its only fair. *real end of rant*

These 24lb injectors your after, i got a Au fuel rail (well not sure if the fuel rail is au but the injectors sure are as they start with WR2A) here if that's what you need.

I had offers from that cow asking me if i wanted a 3.45 lsd center, and on another occasion she pmed me asking me if I was interested in sending up my EL T5 shift stick, and that she would send hers back in return.

But I had already heard of some other s**t before the offer so I did not take her up on the offer.

Dont trust that scank

ha ha i got offered those too, but she was selling me a T5 shifter handle as my T5 setup (which is currently for sale) didnt come with one but i sourced one from ebay instead.

omg you had me there, even before you mentioned the name/s

$2000 later, the car is going well again

Seems like im defiantly not the only one.

Im glad the car i gave it was only worth scrap ect but i made the mistake of hiring a trailer and towing the car to its place, still annoyed my EL engine turned out to be scrap metal.

She wanted me to buy her "XR6", this car didn't have a single tickford asset on it, was just a classic eb ed GLi with S pac seats.

Not much...well nothing has happened to the car, i was called into work nearly every morning of my 3 days off.

My wade 1673 did arrive today which set me back $175.45 including post, instead of $173 not including post.

I sent them an old AU cam and received a $40 discount(this is the price they are able to get cams from when purchased from a wreckers) which turned out to be a $23.25 saving after posting the AU cam, $15.70 of this($23.25) covered the post costs of my original ED cam sent. Meaning i only paid $12.5 in post(for the regrind to be sent to me) instead of $20. Makes sense to me if not to you read a it a few times haha.

Still awaiting my short shifter to arrive, the item has good feedback from a few members including Troyman and BenJ.

Im hoping ill be able to get to the wreckers this WED as i feel pulling apart another engine and labelling bolts as i go will be the best option. Ill use to bolts i get from wreckers too organise what i got at home and to of course get my engine together.

Regards.
