went into autozone store room and measured till i found a match, think it was for some form of nissan, still have the boxes at the workshop.
will check and let you know

steering rack boots, i used the universal jobs that you cut to get the size you want...

the intake came out awesome,looking good 😉

i like the blue, will look cool

Intake looks good.

so stripped cam covers for powder coating today 😢
not exactly waht i wanted to see, but i quess it gives me an excuse to forge the motor 😈

cam covers (lotsa thick oil sludge)

cams - coverd in burnt on oil sludge (hate to think what we gonna find in the sump - yes in the sump, pulling motor in the week)

pulled head - no 5 cyl piston shows signs of damage and sleeve has some marks

Eish...that bad luck dude!

All of a sudden Im glad I didnt buy the car! However, as you said...awesome excuse to go all out with the motor now! 😂

Good luck....

P.S. Michelle phoned me today and told me she is bringing in a R33 also. Price will be R190 000. FYI

I know the feeling, here is my rocker cover that made me pull my motor out

Now you have no Choice! 😈 :!:
