Thanx guys! Weather screwing me around a bit today, but at least got the intake powersteering pump throttle body ect sprayed and should have everything fitted to the motor today.

Tomorrow I'll fit the brake booster, clutch master cylinder and the ABS unit. yes yes... I'm fitting it again... 😛 didn't get time to source a deletion block for it... so ja.

Need to touch up here and there and remove some overspray, then I'll drop it the motor next week and should be able to start it in the week or next weekend. 🙂

but ja so far so good 😀

Yeah almost there... I did loaf a bit on sunday though... went on a beer tasting with a friend and that turned into a whole day mission, was fun though... so ja... My SX had to wait a bit.

Now tonite I'll be bolting everything on the motor again didn't do that either 😳 so will take pics of the completed heart tonite too.

Still need to respray the pulleys and the cam cover though... so will see how the weather looks this afternoon.

Draco... yeah... I know I need a engine stand... just never get around to go buy one 😛 so for now I use the trolly manoeuvre. hahaha.

Thanx Hentie... jip! couple more days and a bit of hard work on the weekend and she should be done!
