sounds good

sounds mean

The unearthing begins... again.

It's about time .

Just gone down there then.
The amount of roaches due to my next door neighbors soil mound.

For old car revivals

Shouldn't you finish fixing one car before you start on the next?

What's to fix?
You mean a paint job?

The FTO's mysterious spooky noise of doom.

Meh, whatever that is can eventually go boom then I'll replace it.
Car's perfectly fine mechanically otherwise.

Given the old website is now gone I should upload the old shots, will do so soon.

Meanwhile, here's where we left the engine.

Subbing out of interest

The Mortein's good for an extra 50hp!

Mortein Upper Engine Cleaner!

Also keeping an eye on this thread.

Yeah, was kind of a waste to use the mortein given I'll be rebuilding the engine, but oh well....

Cleaned away all the crap from the front of the car, put the bonnet from the sedan on, and gave the car a general inspection both inside and out.
Has fared well given the poor garage it is stored in.
Also found the receipt for the last time the car was fueled just after I fiddled with the tune and before the head gasket gave way.

Almost 12 months later. A blurry picture.

Your picture taking skills are about on par with Sahin's I reckon.

lol, was in a rush, was mainly to show progress to my mate so he knew where we'd be starting.
