So thought I would give an update on progress:
The car is very very nearly ready for an MOT to get it back on the road!
Here is the bay at present: (not much change from before)
Couple of things that have been done include temporarily sealing up the inlet accordion pipe which has cracked and split to hell, thank god that thing is going soon!
A new bracket has been made to hold the relocated oil filter (which is moving again soon)
Measurements have been made for new Magnecor HT leads, once I get the quote they will be on order, hopefully getting here before the end of March.
I broke a couple of bolts on the bumper when removing that, the new ones need to go in and its all good :)
Something un-expected is the power steering oil resevoir, it seems to be leaking from were the two halves of the bottle join in the middle, I have a spare one so hopefully that will work when I swap it over, at the same time I have a brand new from Mazda PS cooler pipe, that will be going in to replace the really badly rusted one.
General plan is to get the car back on the road this month, then I can start the turbo additions… finally... YAY!
On another note, I'm really keen to upgrade the brakes, starting with the fronts, however as you all know getting stuff for these cars is hard as hell now, any suggestions for big brake upgrades? K-Sport may be an option but I would like to keep the costs down if possible!
