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
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
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
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.
New Valeo water pump
Assembly starts with new head gasket, new locating dowels & new head bolts
Best purchase I've managed to make for this car is a brand new cylinder head Long story how I came to get my hands on that beauty
Bolted together at last
Current work in progress, which includes waiting for parts to be delivered, is powdercoationg all the bits that attach to the engine
All timed up with INA cambelt kit, plastic covers & freshly coated covers fitted
