Its getting preped then re-sprayed at the moment. Once its painted and the re-built engine fitted, it will be a running project whilst other jobs are carried out.
Engine re-build, XR3i block and head. I've removed the MFI inlet etc. And have a later twin choke carb and inlet manifold. Currently trying to find a XR3 camshaft and followers, so I can build the head up and fit to the block. Then drop it in the car.
Head with rockers, and cam removed ready to build.
Bottom end checked, then fitted new sump gasket.
Bottom end all painted, need new engine pressure sensor and sump plug.
Rocker cover, oil cap, cam spocket and drive belt pulley re-painted.
Carb serviced, bolt on filter fitted, inlet manifold & thermostat housing painted.
Crank sprocket, drive belt pulley, new water pump, new cam belt fitted.
Wheels given a quick coat of paint and laquer (really need a re-furb as you can see the corrosion, but will have to wait till next year.
Fuse cover cleaned up (was cover in black gue lol)
Wiper arms resprayed
Heater box and cover cleaned up
Cam belt cover cleaned and clear coated
All gaskets, seals, belts, pumps, filters etc have been changed in the engine. And will be flushed before use.
New 4 branch manifold is being ordered with full exhaust system. Later parts will include uprated brakes (XR3i front brakes already fitted), suspension, some extra detailing, interior etc
Been a busy 5 days lol
