Right... productive day today.
Went out at a stupid hour this morning to pick up Vard, and tools etc.
Came home to find a wreck of a 420gsi on my drive
Then we went to my sister in laws with a solid towbar and towed the ZS home
Zs pulled by a Ti
And the ZS in its final resting place for the time being
Ok, so... to the 420, well im not sorry for breaking this, its an absolute nail :lol:
Rear arches have fallen apart, full of mold etc etc.
But fair play to it, we put a good battery on it, and turned the key, and it fired up no problem, smoked quit a bit, but it looks like it has been sat for years, green moss all over it etc etc, exhaust blowing an all that, but the clutch hydraulics were all fine and it seemed to run very well, it did start on the button after that, well did.
The 420 in all its glory !
And Vard felt it funny to stand on the bonnet :lol:
So... at about 1pm, we went to work.
The 420gsi has cruise control too.. so im hoping to fit that in as well.
The aim here was to get the engine out so we could get the mounts and drive shafts etc.
Which we did
And then took the customary pics of us conquering the engine bay :mrgreen:
Thats pretty much it today, most of the loom is loose in the bay, we still need loads out of the bay and the dash needs to come out tomorrow for the loom.
One last thing we did was to take the head off the 420, i figured if it was better than the one from V79 we should use that... and im pleased to say its spot on ! not been skimmed once
So im a very happy chappy today, if a little tired.
The head.
Oh and a couple of more of the throttle body/cruise control.
Thats all for now :thumbup:
