I have been lazy posting, but not much has been done in the last year... I did finish the new underfloor heated garage which is great.

I had nearly everything finished except for the brakes. I ordered a new master cilinder but that doesn't seem to work and leaks. So I decided to ditch this one and I have to find a different one, with proportion valve.
The power booster will not be used either (no vacuum on the 302)

The rack and pinion also stopped working and decided to go without power steering and try manual. Which is still need to find and order.

Have you thought about a hydroboost system? That would get power steering and good power brakes.

I decided to go full manual, so no power brakes or steering!

Some new parts

Image

Old vs NEW

Image

No steeering pulley and pump, looks better if you ask me

Image

Had some issues shifting, welded a ring on it to fix it

Image

Image

Used my lathe to make this bushing

Image

Image


New tyres, old ones from 2001

Image

Image

Image


My extension is nearly done, garage getting filled with toys :woohoo:
Floorheating, metal saw, lathe, welding table
