Wow! Now that is shiny!

Start looking like a car again...
My choice of shock is fully adjusable GAZ on rimmer uprated springs.
I have converted to sierra brake caliper and vw golf disc. Made the braket myself using a water cutting machine . Make new coppernikkel brake line all over, also fuel line in 8mm coppernikkel.

The engine is not ready yet, i have to buy new timing chain kit, including spocket.
Is the rimmer kit a good choice?? The block is honed, the pistons got new rings. All bearing new.
Valves reprofiled 3 angle + polish. Head ultrasonic cleaned.

The satin black is going to be painted at a later moment, let the paint release some gas first.
I can't make up my mind about the satin black sills yet. I know it is originally painted black, but I can't make up my mind if i like it or not.....

Get the proper reynolds tensioner. Have a read around the forum where this is discussed a lot.

The pad comes off the cheap one...with disastrous results.
