My second T4, operation de-chav

[regcheeseman]

Started building the motor back up, having fun trying to work out what fasteners are what from a range of random takeaway tubs, I broke my golden rule of bagging and labelling everything in this usual misguided illusion that it'll only be a few weeks before I bolt this back together and i'll remember what went where.

Are we missing some build pics?
Did you just paint the block?
Loving the contrast - great job?

Yeah, I blew it back over with some satin rattle can, I had started to do it on the orange block but because the paint hadnt cured it was bleeding back through, could have been a really cool effect but it wasn't. I didn't bother posting pics of the re-blacked block as the engine block photos were getting boring.

Yeah, I like the contrast of the matt and the satin, works well I think.

Some bits turned up in the post

FLANGE!

Had a couple test printed



Good job I had a test print, the flange interferes with the inlet manifold and the link bar between each one is too high

Working lates until 2am tonight, MOT booked for 8:30 tomorrow morning and then straight to work again.

As if to rub it in someone was playing "I wish it could be christmas everyday" from their house really loud as I parked up at work, I just sat there and thought, NO, No I fucking don't, to much stress, to much anticipation and its a pile of shit when you get there. Still got to go shopping; great. Fucking shopping on christmas eve, ho, ho, ho.

What’s on the list mate?

Track rod end rubbers, number plate lamp, pinhole in exhaust, corroded rear spring, think that was about it...


To celebrate here's a picture of a grey van, looking grey against the green grass and the brown leaves.
