What's in the workshop this week? Jim's black Final Edition

[MikkiJayne]

Its that time again Jim (The Laird) brought his spotless black FE down for new cam tensioners as they are rattling on start up. I'm going to pull the engine and re-seal everything as it has a few leaks, plus a general tidy up and fettling in the engine bay as it's on 180K miles now.

Here's Jim's (left) next to Stephen's (What was in the workshop last week) before it came in to the workshop:



First job on Thursday was to remove the bumper and headlights in preparation for pulling the front end. I left the front panel in place as I needed to move the car off the lift on Friday, but then got back on it today





A small pile of bits starting



>> to today:

Split front snubber mount - that's pretty standard so I keep them in stock.



So this is how its going to be then? Two snapped bolts taking the front panel off I'll deal with these later.





One of the oil cooler bolts in the rad too. This is going to be fun I can see a special tool in my future...



A bit grubby under here after 180K miles





We can fix that
