Wurzal's P38

My lid has never come off the whole thing unscrews so I use a funnel and jug to top/fill it up

Ok it makes sense if it's screwed in just don't want to break it for not checking

Thanks Dave it unscrewed so now in primer paint tomorrow if time allows

Did mine in red when I replaced the rocker gaskets, repainted then in grey when I did my head gaskets.

Well that's the rockers ready to go back on I was going to paint the raised bits black but I havent got a steady enough hand and looked sh1t so grabbed the Sanders to smooth down and got carried away. I actually quite like it and should look good with some stainless bolts.

Should I put a clear coat over the enamel paint and bear metal???

Anyway her a is the pics:-


I have some time off over New Year so will get her back together and then in for an mot see how she gets on before I do any more work on her. She hasn't done that many miles since last one so fingers crossed it should be ok

To pick out the raised bits in black use a small roller with a very hard foam pad if not then just clear coat over everything

Yeah but I kinda prefer the silver bits now so a couple of coats of clear and refit. Might change my mind in a few months and redo

You may well do I painted mine red then did my hg and repainted silver/grey iv painters my new LPG inlet matt black just got to find time to fit it

I did similar on my monaro. Raised bits red, rest black...So I painted the whole lot red, then black and using a sanding block, took the black off the raised bits to reveal the red

No pics of engine back together really should take some.
OK eas pump needs refurbished so while I wait for the repair kit to arrive I thought I better get on with my camper conversion.
This is as far as I have got but ran out of wood using up my stock of spare bits hence dodgy legs as a temp to see height and how comfy it is.
As you can see I can get under bed storage boxes under the false floor. Just need to push drivers seat forward and drop one half of rear seat and pump up air bed and nap time lol.

Not much of an update but I've fixed the drivers door check strap. And hopefully finally fixed the suspension.

Today I planned to change all discs and pads in hope of a good mot result. This is where my day went pear shaped. Jacked the front of end up axle stands under chassis both sides wheels removed then put under as a back up I left the jack taking some of the weight. Changed the disc and pad on one side went to put wheel on and knocked tiny resulting in sliding off axle stands and knocking over jack result dent in alloy and buckled jack could have been a lot worse. Anyway £66 later a new 3ton trolley jack is lifting tiny back up and I'm hoping this is the end if my bad luck. No chance moved on to second wheel disc screw is completely knackered and had to be drilled out and had the same joy on both back wheels. I thought the front had been upgraded to vented discs and I had bought solid all round no I had fitted rears on the front so swap over. I'm getting good at this now. This had come from opening 3 of the 4 boxes to find the all the same disc opening the 4th finds paddocks have sent 3 rear and 1 front Ordered new discs from local parts store be here tomorrow delayed mot till late so parts can arrive. All in all not a great day but back end finished front stripped and ready and I've hurt my back to top off everything so whiskey and bed now
