Daz's Project 850 T5

[daza-b]

Thanks mate, going to take time to get it to how I want it but it will be there one day, hoping to have it fully ready for next years York events etc

[daza-b]

Todays progress a little slower than I wanted, but some progress is better than no progress lol

Took the fuel pump out to get ready for fitting the Walbro pump, but found that the pump housing is broke so need to source a new one



Then went on to finishing off the polybushing

Bulk head mount done Not as bad as I expected tbh



Then fitted





Then on to doing the lower tie bar







Engine feels very stiff now so looking forward to feeling and hearing the results!!

Stay tuned folks

[M-R-P]

Nice progress there Mr. B.

[daza-b]

thanks buddy, will be very happy when I get it up and running lol hoping to have it started again in about 2 weeks

[stribo]

Good call mate, I did all that when I got the C70, just have the PCV left.

[daza-b]

at 200k i think its loooong overdue it all lol here is to another 200k good old volvos lol well thats if the rods last long enough haha but there is plans in the near future of a full forged engine rebuild

[daza-b]

Not much of an update but few little bits arrived ready to put on but the weather being horrible and an ill mrs (again) cant really do much

So start off with a massive thanks to Merc85 (Gav) for supplying my timing belt kit, water pump, fuel filter and aux belt for a bargain price!!!



Then next a massive thanks to martybelfastt5 for sending out the wing, even tho royal mail was absolutely useless and lost it somehow! lol



Next thanks is D5Kerry for making some fantastic stickers ready for completion, the circle moose for the wheels, the other moose are glow in the dark! haha could not resist







Last but no least a huge HUGE thanks to paul240880 for sending out the new fuel pump housing which will sit the new walbro 255 pump in very soon



Also received a 1.2 Kinugawa actuator, not very impressed with the customer service as it took 4 e-mails in which they said was out of stock without informing me until I asked and said tomorrow, 1 week later still nothing so again said was out of stock tomorrow again, paypal claim and 4 weeks for it to arrive but I got a free torch haha



All in all the forums doing a good job and the members being as helpful as ever

Will update again soon when the weather and the mrs are a bit better

Stay tuned folks!!!

[p fandango]

U get the free torch with any order over $50 at the minute, now all u need is a turbo lol

[daza-b]

Ahh that explains it thought they were just being nice lol well rumour has it that I will have a new turbo for it soon.... when someone sends it!! lmao

[AndysR]

Fitting those parts should keep you busy for a short period

[daza-b]

[merc85]
