Inspecting the fuel pump - once tank had been cleaned and underseal removed
-
Front subframe arb removal
-
Further stripping the rear subframe, think those bushes are a bit suspect Prep for bush removal crossmember bush removal Arms bush removal
-
Dropping the front subframe, more plus gas
-
Underseal liberally coated but only a little surface rust to be addressed, fuel lines will need that rust sorting as well Rear brake lines have been replaced at some point but not the tidiest job
-
Next the petrol tank - pretty dirty Straps came away easily enough Clean underneath though
-
Rear subframe removal - lots of plus gas and a Milwakee impact wrench made light work of the nightmare bolts - phew!
-
Getting the bracket to fit the rear diff
-
R180 vs R160 diff, quite the size difference Test fit of the R180 catching the rear subframe exhaust mount bracket Diff to subframe cross bracket hitting the diff casing
-
Hmm yes it was Dropping the rear diff
-
Rear end Heavy calipers will be replaced with newage alloy / brembo items R160 rear diff with a slight leak, R180 diff will be going in to match the 6 speed box The rest looks dry and a little rusty - Have read many stories of classic owners and battles with these bolts... This liberal use of underseal wouldnt be hiding anything now would it..????

Driveshaft off
-
Next is the auto box... Drive shafts were pulled but missing photos of that
-
Detaching auto transmission from block Powersteering pump off Ok lets get it pulled... finally on stand
-
aftermarket exhaust not in too bad shape but mounting bracketry all rusty Flex joint broken hence meaty sound when driving 🙂 System removed
-
Airbox and battery out ahead of prep for engine pull Manifold off Alternator, Aircon pump and pipework off - Aircon will not be going back on Headlights and centre grill out. Aftermarket oil cooler removed as well, as there will be a 6 speed manual transmission going in no need for that to go back on. Radiator had a leak so that will be replaced. Bumper removed

try contacting ESL - Enduring Solutions limited in Cambridge, they may be able to help with an ECU mod which will support you doing your own tuning.... Other than that I would look at the more expensive Link ECU option which a capable piece of kit
