The head was taken as part of a deal of converting a wiring loom so didn't cost me a penny. Without trying to sound stupid what needs modifying?

cheers bud wasnt planning on doing anything today as im waiting on parts, but a tyre turned up that i had wone on ebay for my new alloys, so i went and fitted it to a wheel and trial fitted it to the car i think it will look nuts with a full set of these on, just need bigger brakes :-D

got another couple of jobs done on this yesterday sorted out my rad fan issues, as my fan assembly was way to close to my dipstic guide, you could barely squeeze a rizzla betwwen the 2 no pics of it on the car but heres the difference between the 2 rad setups original rad set up new fan set up not much difference but the 2nd fan on the new setup is belt driven, so its not as deep. i now have a good 2cm of clerance now between fans and dipstick

june 11 well i thought id better update this as a lot of stuff has happened in the last 6 months and kind of lost touch with the dub world due to rebuilding my missus mini well ive got the thing pretty much built now just gotta sort some niggles out with it like it not running properlly, think it needs new cop's also theres a problem of it no holding water as the heater matrix is shot and a core plug needs changing again as it didnt seal properlly the last problem i have is my assembly is way too close to the inlet assembly and dipstick so i have to change that heres a few random shots oh

heres a couple pics of how it looks under the bonnet now since i managed to sort the cooling side out i thought id tackle the pedal box and adapt it for the dbw pedal. so out with the colum etc to get the pedal box out again! removed the accerator pedal and made a simple bracket for the dbw pedal to sit on and welded it to the pedal box i havnt bolted it down yet but this is how the pedal will sit once ive sprayed it
-
well another productive day spent on it today main aim was to get all the cooling sytem connectected, which was even easier than i thought it would be managed to rework all the 12v pipe work and utilise the 12v stat housing, the only real bit of fab i had to do was relocate the aux water pump from the fron of the block, back to the 12v position, attached to the head above the gearbox, to do this i just used the original 12v bracket and cut it down as i had no need for the big round electrical socket holder, i drilled an addition whole into so i could mount it to the head where a cable holder o

jun 10 no real update as such, just thought i'd try the borbets on for size since i had 10 mins to spare over at the unit rear arches need rolling and the arse needs lowering further but im only on shocks and springs at the mo has got an arch roller i could hire for an afternoon aug 10 ok havnt touched this in months due to lack of funds, motivation and helping another mate of mine complete a g60 conversion so today i started of with an engine bay with only 12 valves main reason for removal as some of you may know is that it had blown a headgasket and generally didnt like water on closer

sad sad day today all my time and effort putting the vr in is slowly dissapearing heres how it looks as off this evening basically the vr lump is being sold in parts, hence why its being broken down, more profitable this way plus i dont have to source parts that i would of robbed of it for the 2mo lump next weekend i'm hoping to actually to get the 2mo lump built up and resting in the engine bay so i can finnish up mocking up the wiring oh yeah is it wrong for me to have ideas about reshelling it?!! :whoops: :whoops: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

may 10 now slight change of plan with as im going 2motion now, this is due to the head gasket going and didnt wanna mess around witha an egine that alraedy had 130k, needed new chains and just wasnt quite enough power for me, plus i picked up the engine at too good a price to refuse lol heres the money shots cause i'm a tight barsteward and hate parting with cash for other people to do work on my i decided last nite that i definatly wasnt going to pay anybody to convert my loom so today i made a good start on it this is what i started with didn't know what i need out of this lot so i just l

sep 09 progress has been slower than i hoped on this due to the fact ive had no transport and the car being 20miles away but anyhow ive had the afternoon on it today and managed to fit the radiator in place and get all the plumb work sorted, next time i do this i think i wont be such a cheap skate and actually buy corrado gear cause it was a pain in the arse trying to get it to fit right also manage to get the rest of the front end bolted in place, its actually starting look like im going to finish it soon all ive gotta do now is tidy up all the wiring mount the ecu (where and how do u guys
