Why are you putting 'pent-house roof' style high compression pistons in it?

Unsure


Whoops thats the wrong ones, there for another job.


Right ready for paint-




All bagged up ready to blast, a couple of hours later and it should look better than new-

Blimey Carl you're at it as well!! Its been a while since I've posted since I've been in my shed stripping the engine down.

Looks absolutely sweet now its all back to shiney white. You've been lucky with yours - no where near as bad as mine but it was starting in all the same places. What are your brakelines like? The black protective coating was breaking up on mine on the outer edge of the bends (where it usually goes).

At least you have other 306's in work to make sure you put everything back in the right place!!

Will have to get some pictures downloaded for my thread to give an update.

Cheers mate, pushing mine along as it hasnt been taxed for 6 months then last week i taxed it then decided to do this, want to have it back on the road and terrorise people again. The brake lines are fine, the black coating seems to be ok and looks good. Just got a few bits to get back from my painter then its all back together.

Still got the engine to do aswell.

Carl

Maybe the boot floor and just black the floor pan, nearly getting as bad as you. When i washed the engine bay with the car in the air alot of the floor cleaned up really nice, may just jet wash the hell out of it and see what it looks like.

Got a few bits delivered yesterdy from the painters, just got bored so decided to un wrap them and have a look-

New subframe and antiroll bar-



Various brackets and gearbox bits-



Also received a new lower oil pump drive which looks to have been modified with the spacer part part of the gear, good idea as this now means the rubber o ring that holds it all in place when the crank nut is done up is not now needed as it is keyed. Also got some new thrust washers-

OK cool, would power coating be better and last longer than painting them all, as iv heard that powder coating can flake of easily ?
I will be sorting mine out within the next few weeks time so how much can you sort out powder coating if its good enough ?
1) sub frame 2)ARB 3) Battery tray all 205 stuff.
I can sort out the sandblasting with my compressor and gun etc..

Cheers mate..

You Bar-Steward!

How am I ever going to be able to afford to buy this Rallye off you!

Especially when your spending more a month than I can save!

Angry

Keep up the good work!

Well done a little more to it today, moved it off of the far ramp and put it onto the other one in the cornner so i can move in the garage, aswell as my car in pieces and bits everywhere its just the same with customers cars (seems the bigger the place the more you tend to collect).

Stripped down a block and bead blasted the hell out of it (was rebored and decked last week), well as it was a nice and sunny day i decided to degrease the outside of it and add some black engine paint into the mix-





Once that was dry and it didnt take that long i set about fitting the crank into it, new bearing's and thrust washers etc and a freshly polished crank-



Then 40 minutes ago i gets a call from my painter, come and collect your bits, well with these bits back i can more a little further on, this is what i picked up-






The paint finish on these bits is flawless.
Had the omp strut brace repainted white, the red was coming off in places. Front panel redone in gloss black and the engine mount then various brackets redone, well impressed with the quality.

Well thats it for now, i may come in on monday and fit a little more back up?? All depends what she indoors has planned for meLOL


Carl
