Doc, I have'nt got any exams just a final assessment on my practical ablity as a Boilersmith. god help me.

Nitemare, as the exhaust pipe is good all the way along apart from the tail pipe I think use it for now, its would take too long fabricate one myself, but we,ll see,

I like the idea of not altering the chassis but if its the easiest way then so be it.

haha sounds better than mine then!

I have mechanical analysis (essentially complex maths)

Mechanical systems (hardcore physics)

Electronics (more hardcore maths mixed with physics )

and then a solid works assignment, practical assignment and race car anatomy assignment

fooking ell, makes mine sound like a walk in the park.

hahaha true!

wish mine was simple

the standard 2.25 exhaust will be too restrictive on a 200tdi, i built my exhaust in about 2-3 hours after sifting through the pile of pipes i'd collected

So, that rules out that idea, bugger well so be it more welding haha

Well I've finished my coursework apart from one question
about bloody time too

Look what I've got for £20.........



And all that bloody time I've spent cleaning and painting the SWB ones

You could of had mine for free! Shame I'm in norfolk tho.. Keep up the good work man! Looking nice!

Cheers Bluelarky but like you say flippin long way to go, ah well.

Right my old man has got all the old tyres off this week for me while I was at work. cheers dad. so I'll be taking a couple back with me to get cleaned up.

now I'm not sure if this is spammin (Slap me if it is) or not but hey ho, I've put my BMC 2.2 diesel on Ebay,



:behindsofa: so hopfully once I'm shot of it (and weather sorts it's act out ) I can get on with the front end

regards Chris

Weell, Ive been muckin about with wiring today, going to get the 200 fired up tomoz hopefully. anything I should be lookin/listening for, other than load of smoke

oil leaks on the oil pipes to the cooler and around the filter (you do have oil in it ??)

diesel leaks

water leaks

check your alternator for security

make sure you've left no little bits laying on the engine

that's about it

if you have a diesel leak from the bleed off pipes there's every chance it's caused by a restriction in the return pipe to the tank, they're only push on pipes (or they were on mine) and they flow quite a lot of diesel back to the tank, not at high pressure but just enough to make you lose that liquid gold should the return pipe get blocked

Brummmm chugga chugga, maybe?

Wooohhoooo!!!!!!

Brummmm chugga chugga, indeed sir.

Heheh nice one. I've got a propellor you can put on that, who needs a drivetrain

Yeah, Big sense of relief now , going to be watching that video for motivation from now on.

Hey up

More big bits off today such as the old lump and the front shockers.





Lots of space now for getting rid of the old mountings......





if you would call them mountings ....:crazy:

I've also got all the track rods apart from the main one between the wheels to keep them upright.

going to cutting off the old mounts and grinding everything back flush.

looks like a lot of pigeon **** in there

yep more pigeon crap than material.
