Looks like the brakes are binding a little, I'll be ordering a rebuild kit for the calipers.

Got some bits from the breakers.

Third brake light, tab was broken on the one on the car.

Jack was missing so got one of them and the red slide of the lambda connector.

Red slide fitted.

Got some brackets for the autochanger, not sure if I'll be fitting it at the moment. I'll be cleaning the rust off these and painting them if I do.

Good job I've got a new pulley, this one doesn't look to great. Hopefully with the new seals and a clean up the block will be nice and dry.

Bloody bleed screw, I'm not the type of person that over tightens thing. I felt the screw starting to tighten up on the threads and not on the flat before the head came off.

Drilled a hole and got a stud extractor in there.

Replaced with a stainless cap head and dowty washer I had, but I've bought the proper brass bleed screw and coper sealing washer today.

Then after finally bleeding all the air out I heard a snap and the thermostat housing pissed out a load of water.

The old rad was badly corroded at the bottom and I've got a feeling it might have been crap put in there to stop it leaking eg rad weld or the like.
