Collected my Signal green RS from Ireland 2 weeks ago and it's not quite as nice as the original pictures showed it. Therefore I have decided to strip the engine out and do some changes whilst I am there.
Spotlights now removed
4 Speed Gearbox removed to be replaced with a 5 Speed which is being collected from Kames on Sunday
. Engine also to be cleaned up and the block re-painted. Carbs also to be sorted with new engine gaskets etc. fitted
Tunnel has had a 5 speed before so no cutting required
Propshaft removed and replacement diff sourced at AVO Day to be fitted with new seals fitted from front to rear
A few bits of welding underneath to be done (mainly on the sill area), but not major work as the boot and front end are in excellent condition. Rear arches to be rolled up to stop the wheels catching.
Again the body is getting a full outer respray along with the engine bay, doors and boot, but I am definately keeping the vinyl roof this time
I'll keep you updated with the progress as it happens
