Todays progress...started to butcher the interior, and picked up my injectors from the cleaners...what a result! (check the report)

[Archbish]

bloody hell - what are you doing to the interior???

[strange_days_uk]

This is a really good thread.  Good work Bob, have you done all that work by yourself ?  You are a brave man, especially for a first time re-build.

And yes, what the hell are you doing to the interior ?

I see that new modification is going well: The bonnet on the roof - is that for extra downforce!?

[kermit]

Have to say, I have been following this thread and I’m finding it really interesting.  It’s inspiring me more and more to do my own project car!  Keep the pics and updates coming.

Watch the Wind don\'t blow that bonnet off your roof mate.

[Bobfish]

car is under a cover all the time, wind dont affect it

im painting parts of the interior a dark grey - the standard FD interior is too black and mine is tatty and scratched anyway.  Had to take alot off to get the gearstick panel, ac panel, gauge cluster, drivers door card and passenger door card off.  Wanted to color code the whole lot, so had to take it all off

ill be going into the garage in about an hour to start dismantling the gauge cluster etc and start rubbing down the panels ready for paint.  Order new vac lines today for a custom solenoid kit im going to be installing for turbo control.  injectors are back from the cleaners as you saw, exedy flywheel should be arriving friday...

work is far from done! haha

[Bobfish]

more progress today...

exhaust manifold stud on brand new rotor housing...snapped

[Archbish]

Is it a replaceable stud??

[Bobfish]

Exhaust manifold stud - fixed!

[Bobfish]

yes its replaceable, luckily mine broke with 2-3cm still sticking out so i just used a stud remover, didnt have to **** around drilling etc.

This is a good thread. Keep up the good work mate! This is what the community needs, more people doing their own work.

I know how much of a pain taking pics while working is (dirty hands etc) but keep em coming.

P.S...i want to butcher my interior panels aswell are they hard to take out? Also what sort of work do you need to do before spraying them cos iv never done it before...
