give us some updates on the trackcar pal
Wont be any until the Williams has gone off for paint unfortunately, got a mega tight deadline to get the Williams ready to go for paint 2nd week of january & almost zero free time to do it so got to make sacrifices :-(
It's got the dreaded tin worm so respray is a neccessary evil unfortunately
Good to see work progressing. Would be great to see it again once it's complete :smile:
Work has started in earnest & progressing well
Stripped down to a bare-ish car, all glass, trim & rubbers off to help keep the paint job a sensible price

Engine out, stripped bare and organised into boxes, ready to go off for rebuilding

This is the reason it's getting a full rebuild

Got a brand spanking new cylinder head ready to fit but it would be a waste to fit that & not completely refresh the bottom end as well so that's what's happening
Soda blasted, painted then fully rebuilt bottom end ready to go 8)

looking good
That's a lot of trouble to go to for a criminally easy oil filter change. Nice!
The demise of photobucket means an update is needed :roll:
Complete engine in the boot off to be soda blasted & painted

The result of soda blast & fresh paint along with complete bottom end rebuild. Bores were pretty much immaculate so only required honing & standard size piston rings to be fitted. Same for the crank, new standard size ACL racing main bearings & big end shells along with new thrust washers & oil pump.
