,
Not cheap , but I'm planning to use my car in some demanding environments
So it will be worth every penny,
Plus I'm now in exclusive club of less than 50 people who has limo in their r4

Because my original distributor was magnetti marelli, i bought cheap Ducellier clone , to convert it to electronic module

 

[Domsky]

I got flywheel resurfaced,
And new valve seats fitted and light skimming on the cylinder head

 

[Domsky]

Engine block cleaned and painted, pistons cleaned, and i gave a gentle polish to the crankshaft nearly ready for assembly

 

[Domsky]

The frame is nearly ready for final coat of paint , and underneath will be painted with cobra bed liner

 

[Domsky]

A little bit of struggle

Love it - tried EVERYTHING! But success in the end marked by the dong of the bell !

Blimey, and I thought they were stubborn on my car. Well done Domsky. As it says in the Haynes manual, just hit the end of the torsion bar with a hide hammer, oh yes, really?

 

[Domsky]

A little bit more of the chassis

Well I've been very impressed so far
Presuming this car is LHD
I will mention the weber twin manifold sits very close to steering column I had to fit spacer under engine mounting on my Rodeo

It is LHD , thanks for advice
I wish i was at the stage when i worry about those things

 

[Domsky]

Because the original cork gaskets usually don't last long before they leak , i got sump and chain cover gaskets made from best material available

 

[Domsky]

The frame is finally painted , top with polycoat from novol, underneath with bed liner also from novol.
Now i need to wax all the cavities.
I also made little stand on wich i will be assembling the chassis.

 

[mr-reno-139]

with such prevention of rust this car will last forever
