    Shell is still in the shop, so cracking on with other stuff...

    I have cleaned and painted the engine mount brackets, sump and bits in the picture. Started to clean the gearbox ready for paint, need to sort a leaky seal in the box also.

    Also managed to drill out a stud that snapped off in the head, I was lucky this came out as it nearly went pear shaped when the drill bit broke off in the stud

    Did you paint up those bits your self? Looks mint. Been following your build from page one, come a long way buddy, really looking forward to seeing this all back in one piece.

    You got decals to go on after?

    Re: My F Weg Tungy

    Taken the head off my engine as there is a stripped thread in one of the plug holes and some crap has gone into the cylinders. Have been thinking about putting a 285 cam in but cash flow is a bit tight, but as the head came off I thought I may as well take it all apart anyway and try to find the cash to buy a cam.

    The valve and cylinders need a good clean anyway so worth the strip down even if i stick with the normal cam.

    Some pictures, does the head/valve/cylinders look normal as there seems to be a lot of oil/soot on them?






    Cleaned up the silicone hoses as well:

    Before:



    After and engine parts:




    Can anyone ID which clutch this is as well?

    If you can spare the money, I would stick a fresh clutch on and get the fly resurfaced as it's all out in bits.

    Saying that, I think I've got the "uprated" Valeo green box center friction plate brand new kicking about some where in one of my many boxes that I don't need. If ya can get a new cover and I can find it, possibly donate it for free.

    Re: My F Weg Tungy

    The clutch looks ok and was fine when I last drove it, so think it will be ok for now. I can't see any marking on the pressure plate to ID it. Is the luk unit from a volvo engine or something?

    It was quite heavy, so I have a soft peddle kit to go in the gear box, also have a lightened flywheel so will stick all that in with the existing clutch i think as cash is getting tight.

    I've just ordered a Piper 285, springs, pulley etc so once its all set up with the T25 turbo and nodiz kit the engine should be pushing out some decent power.

    What's the hold up with the paint shop? The car went to them midway through November I'd be doing my nut in.

    Very good question! The body shop is very busy every time I go there, I live close and drive past in the evening and they are always there till 8-9pm, just not working on my car it seems... but apparently they are spraying it today, so will find out when I go there tomorrow.

    Weekend updates:

    Got a rebuild kit for my T25 so set about cleaning, painting and rebuilding it. It had a tiny bit of play before but now its solid and spins very freely.



    After a long cleaning process my gearbox now has a couple of coats of etch primer on it.



    Inlet and starter motor also in primer. Refurbed the battery tray, drilled a few extra drain holes in it as well. Gearbox end casing also painted.

    Re: My F Weg Tungy

    Went in the body shop to check the paint colour this morning. I'm going for the same tungsten with a bit of extra metallic silver but without the blue and purple glitter splatter.

    There are 4 different shades of the Tungsten 608 paint code on the colour chips they got from the paint supplier. A lighter grey one, bluey grey, greeny grey and a darker grey one. So going for the lightest and going to go in there tonight and mix in some silver with the painter and get a match to the colour I want.

    Inside shell is getting sanded down today and they want to paint it tonight, last pic of the bare shell before paint:

    Re: My F Weg Tungy

    Box was a proper mission to clean, first I used Muc Off chain and gears de-greaser with a brush and water to hose off. Then a drill with a little wire brush bit on the end to get all the corrosion off. Don't really fancy doing that again Goobie!

    Paint was Halfords etch primer then I used the VHT paint I had left over from the manifold. it is the flameproof flat silver, then the Engine Enamel Gloss Clear on top. End cover is hammerite direct to rust spray. Done the inlet manifold the same and it look the nuts, need to get a picture..
