Subject: Re: Progress on V12027
I would like to just to share with you all a couple of pics of the front end of my car as it now stands, a long job but it is a thorough one and each and everypart has been renovated completely.
The water pump is all new and ex uk, the shock absorbers are rebuilt with new internals, the front cross member was replaced (accident damage) by a part from the club.
the oil filter has been extended and reworked to fit paper element
filters, the rear crank oil seal is now a modern lip seal.
We took the heads off and the inside of the cylinders were like new we did however have to replace a few valves and re-cut the seats.
Inspection inside the sump revealed everything in first class order so we did not delve any further.
Lots of parts have been plated or powder coated and the side covers over the engine water jacket re-manufactured in 10mm ally with cooling fins milled into them, these are retained with stainless dome nuts, very pretty!
The bulkhead behind the engine was replaced and laser cut from 10mm ally plate and the original brass beading re -attatched to the edge.
I,m very happy so far , some of the body parts are back to bare ally and so far primed ready for finish paint ( deep maroon I think)
