  • Only spent 20 minute or so today on the van just to be nosy of a little bit of rust on the inner wing. When i took the engine out i noticed rat crap around the engine bay. 8 thought here we go where have they been? Surprisingly not far they only chewed the foam a little bit that goes from the wing to the air box. Hardly any damage though. I noticed why the drivers wing tends to habour all sorts of crap so im gonna take that off during the week and see what im gonna do about the rist on the inner wing.

    • Took the wing off and surprised about the amout of crap which could cause rust in there. Luckily not as bad as i was expecting damage wise. One thing i have never noticed on the van is that it doesnt have side repeaters. I would like to put some in either way

      • 9Right today was a fun one. Pulling the engine out of the skoda. Qiute tight in some places but when isnt it [emoji6] . Slowly bĆ¹t surly labelled everything that got disconnected from the engine. Quite fun. Left the loom etc for another day. Left the engine draining its oil in the shed now. And time for cider.

            Not to sure im expecting few things not to go my way. Just have to adapt and improvise. But going to concentrate on one thing at a time. But hopfully if i can have it done by xmas. Body work etc aswell. I will be happy. I want it done right so i think 4 months would be good aslong as funds dont play up

                • Bit more today after doing a tip run for the inlaws. Took the gearbox off. Apparently it had a clutch done recently. Thrush bearing from the gearbox seems good but one of the pressure plates if thats what their called was snapped off. Oh well minor thing i gotta sort. Took the sump off and i thought there was a glimer of hope the abl sump would fit but no chance. I knew the oil pump was on the cam belt end rather than the other end. Found a new t5 1.9 engine sump thats going to fit that i have ordered for 70 quid. Cant to seem to find an oil pick up. Ill just have to make summit up for that. Looking at the auxiliary belt. The water pump is internal on this engine so that can stay like that which means there should be alot less water pipes around compared to the abl. Im going to take the ac off as dont need it. Looking at ways to have that and leave everything in place. Can be done i suppose.

                  • Took the clutch off. Apparently the clutch wasnt done too long ago. Well personally i think its seen more action than kim Kardashians asshole. Plus it flywheel is thicker than the abl. The alh has a dmf. Dont have time for that crap so goi g to put the abl stuff on. Should like to think it will handle 90 ponies. Just waiting on the sump to turn up then figure out angles for the oil pick up then get my dad to tig it up to how i want it. (Im not much of a welder)

                        Cheers dude i had to borrow a 12 piece torx to get the dmf off. The bloke i borrowed it from is a diesel specialist with his own business. His comment was your fucking mental. That going to be a bitch of a job. Yeah well. Its different to which i replied.

                        • Really getting sick of the lack of space in the shed. But the tdc on the flywheels are the same so thats a bonus. Plus had the the supervisor flapping around too today.

                          its not about following the trend.... its about making it!
