Not any work on the gsi, but spent the morning stripping my old c16se out of my track car due to major rust. Also need the mounts, shafts and hubs.




A bit of the rust, car is covered in it though. So off to get scrapped this week.


Also gave the turbo a clean up and bolted it on, and set it up the hoses to see how everything goes.



Theres a hose coming from the turbo that looks like its meant to go to the sump, but cant see anywhere to put it. Is it a water hose?

Yeh it did a bit, not too much though. Put it on to get it running, plan was to switch to 40s but never got round to it.

Well got a nice and cheap air compressor from aldi, perfect for a home garage.


And decided to clean and paint my manky gearbox spotted next to the engine here looking a bit sorry for itself

Painted up in silver hammerite.





Not perfect but looks a lot tidyer, some is flaking off though. Must of missed a couple wee bits while cleaning it
