How front cut came, after bumper was removed... (Didn't get it with the bonnet - they would have charged me an extra $750 for it.. screw that!). |
How
it came. |
Front cut semi stripped. |
Having
a look inside. |
Interior
now fully gutted. That's the ECU sitting there in the middle. |
Almost finished stripping.. |
Few bits leftover. |
Dom, touching my turbo.... |
Interesting.. Note the beefy steel aftermarket shield underneath the
radiator support. Was suspected this car was raced. |
Sitting on the hoist so we could remove the drive shafts, exhaust and
gearbox levels. |
Going up..... |
Going up.. Easier than going down in this instance. |
Going up, going down... |
Good shite. |
Pretty empty 'eh! |
Having a bit of a relax in the sun. |
Pulling that 12 tonne gearbox off my GTiR engine. |
Woo turbo. Free play was pretty good, rotated nicely. |
New flywheel - mmmm perdy. |
My car. Stock as a rock. |
Car almost ready - gotta remove the bonnet first I spose. |
Chains attached, just gotta hold it, unbolt mounts, and drop it. |
Ready to drop. |
Almost gone. |
Persuading it to leave... Stubborn beast. |
Bye bye.. |
Rather empty... Wonder how much it weighs without all that stuff? |
Pulling gearbox off the old engine.. Those air tools rock!! |
Engine all assembled ready to be put in.. |
Engine in, checking wiring etc. Diagrams everywhere! |
Exhaust Manifold Shield. The shiny bits are from me attacking it with a
wire attachment for the grinder, but it didn't work too well as the rust was
very deep. |
Main shield - AFTER HPC coating.. Looks good 'eh! |
All done!
