Forged engine build, to go in the 3 door project car. Parts and advice needed guys.

[Sambarker]

Not sure your oil cooler pipes are long enough!

[zx_volcane]

Great project, coming along nicely now

[Pompey306mark]

They are long enough now as the old ones weren't.

Yea I am hoping it all starts and the electrics work

[Pompey306mark]

Still needs some more coats.



Repairing some roof damage.



Not back together, just protecting it from the rain as it's under a bit of a wet patch in the roof lol.



My new daily driver.

[devils_fuel]

Nice daily mark, never seen a ph2 black 5dr before

[rocker8742]

Front seats fitted feels so nice to have these in and to be say in it.



Sump, power steering and alternator swapped over. Just need to make a better turbo bracket and wire up the engine then plonk it in place.

Thanks to Tom and phil, and thanks to Tom for letting me drive his car home, missed the 306 and driving.

Looking good mate, is a good read

What seats are those?

[Pompey306mark]

Some corbeau seats I had retrimmed.

The new daily is in amazing condition.

[Grant]

So that's where those brakes ended up.... lol

[Pompey306mark]

What brakes? Those are my hi specs I had on my car for years.

[Grant]

Ohhhh I see. Did you and Sean go to the same art classes? :p haha

[Pompey306mark]

I did say that's the first few coats. I am coving up blue and black so still need a few more coats.

[Grant]

I'm only messing about dude.

TBF they're better than seans. His looked lke he'd thrown them at the paint tin and hoped for the best.

[Pompey306mark]

I know you are.

It was f*cking cold on Saturday in the barn too so a steady hand was not being used.

[Pompey306mark]

So finally fixed the glove box luck.





I bit of heavy duty plastic paint to protect under the scuttle panel.



More of the engine bay slowly getting the bits together.



Some more coats of paint on the calipers.




Next weekend we can add oils, finish off the body work repairs on the roof and tailgate. Get a few touch ups done on the bumper and bonnet then we need to relocate the relation pipe for the turbo.

[devils_fuel]

Getting closer now mark . Looks good

[Pompey306mark]

Yea it's getting there. Just hope it starts are runs ok, and that all the electrics are good.

[devils_fuel]

Fingers crossed mate

[Pompey306mark]

More stuff. Mainly doing body work at the moment. Waiting for turbo oil lines and relocation of the turbo.

Brakes; front and rear.



Interior.



Didn't actually get any pics of the body work but it's coming along.

Need to pick up some bits from the scrap yard that seem to have gone walkies.

[ginge191]

Awesome progress mate.

[4WayDiablo]

Give us a shout next Saturday if you need a hand :-)

[Pompey306mark]

Phil come along if you want. Will go up in my car.

[devils_fuel]

Looking very nice Mark!!!

How much will the build cost in total?? Got a finish date yet?

[Pompey306mark]

Depending on what you are counting as a cost. If you add all the money I spent on fuel going to see the car it soon adds up.

Going to try and get all the body work done this weekend. Hopefully get the oil lines soon, I am missing a weekend or two this month due to family things. It would make a good Xmas present. Lol

[Nadine]

this is an awesome project. Its reading threads like this that makes me remember why i persevere with my 6. I look forward to more updates

[Pompey306mark]

More this weekend I hope.

[Pompey306mark]

So today I had the workshop to myself. was hoping to get a load done today, but only got so far.

So the scuttle panel and wipers are all in place and fitted, no pics though as it started raining so had to cover up the car.

Flocked interior is now complete, bar the ash trays which I need to find.











Also decided to wrap the exhaust since I had a roll left over, need to get some of that oil spray people keep talking about and wrap the last part to the back box later.

---

Also made a start on the front bumper it was covered in dents and stone chips. So a bit of work to do.




Bit of black paint to show up all the dents.



Still a bit to do on the roof and tailgate.

[Niall]

So i take it its being wrapped again or is it being resprayed? What colour?

[Pompey306mark]

Will be blue. Not sure on what is being done paint or plasti dip

[Pompey306mark]

So I have been looking at blues. Here's the one I most likely will go for. Blue pearl plastidip.

---

Also turbo mounted.

[Tom]

Like that blue!
