Just a quick bump and an update

Boxgrove pay and play very successful... still fixing bits on my two mates vitaras though haha

Good testing session though, but MOT is coming up in 3 months so time to think about what to do!
... and other bits too

My list so far:

- Replace rear axle oil seals (arriving tomorrow)... mostly holding but i have to keep refilling the diff haha

- Convert to rear discs... got all the bits, apart from the 2 brake hoses, so will crack on with that tomorrow.... always have to replace rear brakes for MOT and getting fed up with it!

- Fit new window to fastback... not really necessary but the weather will be nice again soon haha

- Make, fit and tune EFI... I have all the engine parts required except for fuel pump+filter, and engine trigger wheel and sensor... ordering my megasquirt this month for sure
Might run twin coil packs to I dont have to shell out for coil on plug straight away
I always have to tune my emissions on the tester but I don't like the way it drives afterwards so adjust it back again

- Make wheel arch extensions

- Replace dash with tablet... speedo doesn't work and the MOT man was funny about it last year

Part number BFH3213 on brakes international, or (better still) go to dave at llama...

Im just going to get the shortest brake hoses I can find... as they dont really need to move, just connect the pipe to the caliper

I just run full length braided flexi's from the T-piece to the calipers.

Just a quick update on my zook:

As I've just snapped my brake drum center in half and won't be coming to billing I've decided to do a virtual lift to make good use of the time!
Chopped out my passenger side rear arch today, going to do the welding tomorrow and will post some pictures up! Considering how rubbish it looks from the inside there's not actually a load of rust underneath the arch mount, so should be quite easy

So virtual lift update, its slow going with my bad knee and limited finances but its getting there!

I started off my cutting out the rust near the seat belt that I knew Mr MOT man would pick up on
Excuse the patchwork quilt effect I am trying to use every last scrap of new metal Ive got in the garage, but theres no hole any more!!!
This is how much of the arch I cut out, done the same on the other side as well now!
Mostly done but with a few odd shaped holes left in it
Curve at the front and rear of the arch
Test fit with an unmodified plastic arch
Proper fit with the trimmed down arch... not bolted up yet so the extension material isn't following the curve properly, or sticking out enough, but you get the idea

Good stuff Twiss!

Ever thought about washing the poor little zook?

Nah I just grind the mud off haha

Im going to wash it a bit more before I do any painting

Its update time

Passenger side rear arch, quite happy with this one
Driver side rear arch, more rusty and less decent bits of metal... ended up a bit bumpy but looks better than what was there before haha
Passenger exterior flappy bit all glued and bolted down
Drivers exterior showing dodgy hole cut in it for the filler cap to fit past

Looks good so far mate! Should be able to flex them 31's nicely now
