Eddy's Red Rallye

[eddy_gti6]

I was just on my way home from work friday night only work 3 mile from ho e and got less than half way home then all of a sudden from nowhere was KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK BANG! Car dies and loads of snoke out the back. Knew straight away what had happened bud didnt think it would be that bad.

New plan for the engine now is to just build an engine out of what i have. I have 2 bottom ends and a head. I know 1 bottom end is good and unknown on the other one. The head i will be taking to engine services when i get a chance to be skimmed and tested then also might do the rings on my good bottom end just for safe measures.

Anyway today i didnt have the hoist till late on so got in from work about 2.30pm and decided to pull the dash out as my heater matrix was broke so the previous owner said anyway. I was going to replace the matrix and new pipes as old pipes have been cut but after pricing it all up it wont be much more to buy a kit car matrix and just run that as there just small and light and should be enough to demist the windscreen and warm the car through. While the dash was out i thought i would remove all the heavy sound proof crap from behind it and pull the heater box out. Then moved onto the bulk head under the scuttle. Pulled off all the sound proofing and painted it then was time to put it all back together. Thats it for today. Engine out tomorrow.
