been messing about with the Si again today
got a few things done
firstly got the brakes bled right, bites perfectly now, and im quite excited about that when i get it on the road thursday
then come home and dug out my Puma linkage read to start adapting it to fit, need some springs first though, theyre needed for the neutral return

while doing that i also found this, turns out mk4's and mk3's aint so different after all, it will bolt straight on




and found this under the carpetting

some sort of diary, but its got no important details in it


stepping away from the boot,
just some pics of how much bigger the escort servo is, and as a bonus the jack and brace still fit where theyr'e mean to with room!



back to the brace

holes marked, then drilled


then i started painting the brace


can you guess what colour?
its intentionally thin layered, its to give a "aquatic" effect



and laquer

Wanted to use self tapers so i can remove it when i need the space, so some T4 torq screws were used









after fitting it i realised my sub would no longer fit how it was, so now its had to go in facing the opposite way, which thinking about it looks more beneficial anyway


but had to move the amp as its not going to be ventilated very well up against the carpet
and then i realised what make it is haha





finishing touch, you can see the paint effect too



im in the middle of repairing my stupid bodge of using bolts in a tapped hole to hold the window hinges in place, im using rivets this time round, they used to move slightly when driving and squeek
as the hole was too big i had to weld a new hole in place, the plastic is a washer to stop any noises,
BIG rivets




will finish that off tomorrow and the opposite side
this car is going to be so different once its back on the road, as when i swapped the PAS pump it now has stiffer steering, all i can imagine is the new pump has done less miles and has less play, so it feels different by that alone, then the cams, brace, wheels and brakes on top!
going to be like a different car!
more tomorrow, hope you enjoyed
