Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 popped around Dave's tonight to pick up a couple of m5 ball joints - super job - got em fitted real quick tonight withn a few modifications - much better feel now also had a call from Trev tonight who has now finished up my fuel tank - slightly excited will make the trip over to Northampton some time soon and make sure I take my camera this time to take some pictures of his work shall start preparing the engine ready for a start up over the coming months to check for leeks and other potential problems - got the in-line fuel pump which needs mounting up front somewhere - also the fuel pump block off plate (went for a nice shiney billet one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spence Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Don't ya just love the EMPI trinkets. Always nice and shiny, placed on a brightly coloured lump of special coloured card board, with the new part set off to purrrrrfection. You can walk home safe in the knowledge you have a carrier bag stuffed full to the gunnel's of newly acquired jewels . Only when you get home, unpackage everything and lay it all on the table you suddenly realise there's sod all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleggy the Spyder Man Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 pulled the brake master cylinder to bits - fair bit of gunk inside and some very slightly dodgy looking bores so will be renewing this when I get some cash might try and pick up my tank tomorrow big thanks to Tony who has popped around tonight - he has very carefully layed a tile for each wheel perfectly level (using his bob the builder skills) - when the time comes the car will be placed onto these tiles and the tub can then be modified so the bodywork sits correctly on the chassis thanks m8 really appreciate your help - oh and by the way I phoned Julie and she pointed me in the right direction for her stash of tea bags so panic over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
