This should keep me busy in the garage over the winter
- Thread starter MarkTurbo
- Start date
Still haven't done anything but the collection of bits is getting bigger 
The head flange turned up today along with some weld elbows, tube and flex joints for the wastegate outlets to the downpipe. And some new taller axle stands so I can get it up at a decent height off the ground.
Just need work to get quieter now

More progress Making the most of work getting a bit quieter to do a few modifications!
Making stubs of pipe that fit into the head flange and welded on both sides is the way to do it apparently so that's what I've done. There's going to be a fair bit of weight hanging off the manifold so hopefully this will stop it cracking.

You repaired the van yet Mark.
Sssshhhhhh
It was actually hardly anything when I had a proper look the next day, just broke the corner trim for the bumper. Got a mate that works in Ford's parts dept so its not a problem. Still waiting for it though!
Good to meet you the other day
Looks good Mark. I forgot how many toys you have got to fit. Looking forward to the build
I've had the suspension and turbo over a year now and done almost nothing with them I have been working on a lot of cars way better than an old Nissan Sunny in that time though
I've done the initial hard bit which was sorting out the garage, getting it up on stands and wheels off so I'm committed now!
The 4 nuts on the rear subframe are currently being soaked in wd40 every day and I'm planning on getting the old turbo and manifold off over the weekend

It's a win, nice when that happens.

Result,how long did you soak them for,mine needs to come off at some point this year.
Seems pretty mild now.
I had Delta in early Dec, the loss of smell and taste was the most annoying thing about it.

I had it right back in May 2020 with no symptoms, only found out afterwards because my body had a weird immune reaction to something which needed a trip to the docs!
At least its shut everybody up that kept telling me to get vaccinated, I've probably had less effects from 2 lots of covid than they've all have had from one of their jabs
I've already been out working on the car again

I don't feel sorry for the people that fell for the propaganda,the biggest experiment and iq test in the history of mankind.peace.
I've made more progress while having covid than I've made in years!!
Test fitted one of the new dampers yesterday then finished dropping the subframe off. It all looks pretty crusty but everything came undone quite easily, will have to get it stripped down then blasted and painted.
