That sounds a bit of a PITA to get to.
Gearbox and bell housing off.
If I can get an auto off and on in a day I'm sure I can the manual.
Clutch pedals gone lighter on the way to a job this morning.
Still feels to operate clutch okay but just gone lighter

Replace the roll pins in the clutch operating fork while you have it stripped down.

I think that's what she's may need.
Apparently the clutch is only 12k old.
She needs to stay working for the weekend as my 1st kids due tomorrow.
Aslong as she still drives till lil ones here then can take her off the road to sort the niggles
 
I polished her the other day....1st coat, looks ok so far :) What best approach to remove those dents on the tailgate? One on the "N" other on the "V" o_O

+1 on the roll pins. Some people put 3 lots inside each other. I put them through and then used the shaft from a pop-rivet, sanded down to fit and hammered down there. B*st*rd things!

What else while you're at it? Drain the boxes. MTF94 for main gearbox. Transfer box is ATFIII, I think? Might as well grease the props too. And an oil change & filter. Clutch slave cylinder might be worth replacing. Have a look. Getting the starter motor off can be an absolute PITA.
 
Sorted my lopsided look (she's flat out the drive)
Took the green Crail raceway sticker off the rear.
Bled my clutch she's perfect again.
Slaves damp so il have to order one next job try line up then check it out tips on the exhaust haha

All oils are near fresh(known the lad for years I swapped with)

700miles in less then a week and she's behaving.
 
Haha that's my pals drive.
Top and bottom flats.
Oil remains are mostly from bmws and blown rear diffs :D
 
Well clutch is still good after another day on the road.
Put all the panels that was off the bottom of the dash put on.
Hooked up the boost gauge that was left in it.
Had a look at the driver side light wiper it goes up won't come down just clicks half way down almost like it's stuck.
Job for another day.
Took out the cold start bodge box it doesn't need it after a hour and a half sat it fired up on the 1st crank.

Gearbox leak has calmed down to next to nothing with the oil cooler lines sorted.

Ride height seems to have stayed up aswell a metal ring on top of the spring was dislocated. It's now centre of the wheel to arch 5mm lower on the driver rear corner instead of 15 down.

Next job get fuel :D

How's the boost guage tied in?
T peice into the map sensor pipe. Then through a bulkhead grommet on the passanger side with the sub live wire pipe and wires for gauge run along under the line of the dash.
The bracket is just trapped on the windscreen vent
3rd gear 1200 full throttle to 4K she spikes to 20psi then seltles about 16-17.
Interesting for the whole of 5mins haha.
