Working hard

by Eirik Brørby Fivelsdal

So, I have been working late nights the past week and this is what I have finished and what is left doing Mechanically and electrically.
The ABS system is now working and no “ABS Light” is lighting up the car when firing it up. This was the ABS relay, so i soldered the thin cable inside it and the system started working again.
I have changed all of the brake rotors and brake pads. New brake lines from middle to the back of the car.
Engine: Changed the oil, oil filter, adjusted the valves, replaced the original studs with new and better ones, not the old hexhead style. intake hose, valve cover gasket, half moon seals, spark plugs, Schmiedmann headers, valve cover hose, water pump, cooling hoses, coolant, timing belt and timing belt tensioner.

A body shop is coming over to my place to look at the car, so i can get pricing on the bodywork and paint job, so exited for this step 😀

Still waiting for some parts to arrive! But i got my new interior lights today, original hella 🙂

The M20B25 Engine

by Eirik Brørby Fivelsdal

The Engine is in very good condition despite the fact that it has runned 300k’s however the rubber intake hose is broken and taped with electrical tape to prevent it from sucking “false air”, so I need to replace this. There is some ticking, but nothing dangerous and i will adjust the valves together with engine service. Oil levels is good, but the oil is old and black, no driving before oil change. The spark plugs looked good with minimum carbon buildup. Airfilter is unknown, I want to use the original filter box, but they are really hard to get your hands on, but i will do my best to get my hands on one.
The exhaust is a problem, leaking like a old shoe, in a rainy day. I may just buy a new sport exhaust from Schmiedmann, but not before I have tried to stop the leaks, if it’s too bad I will replace it.
