Well I had hoped to stick all back together in a few hours,but several things have slowed progress to a stand still again,..
Getting work I couldn't turn down,preparing a car (BG) for the nct (national car test-ie.the Irish road worthiness test),the arrival and manoeuvring/playing with of mz?(another phase 1 edm gt hatch,this one already mostly restored and a real keeper),...
And the small matter of 2 week holidays that was booked a year ago and "slipped" my mind,...
Nearly over now,but Have another heap of stuff to get through when I get back so small steps over the next few weeks.
Anywho,...I did get a bit of time to work on mz1 before I left,...
I don't want to say "test" fitting things,..as I've done almost all I can do with regards making sure reassembly goes smoothly,but i wasn't exactly rushing and torqueing,so not much to show.
I did get a few bits fitted,fuel filler pipe assembly I suppose you'd call it is in and looking good,...
(just a note here,can anyone post here or direct me to the OEM assembly schematic of said fuel filler assembly,..as there's a peice I found on 1 BG,from the 15 or so I've been messing at,that wasn't on any other car,...I don't have a pic,but il post soon,...I just want to see is this part OEM,as it wasn't on any other BG,and I can't imagine "all" the cars I got over past year had new fuel filler pipes fitted and "all" left the peice out)
Nothing is being left to chance on the back end reassembly,all parts are checked,cleaned,lubed,sanded and whatever else needs done to make the back end "better" than new,however,as anyone doing this kind of muck will know,taking pics of "all" the steps isn't practical when covered in grease,brake fluid,oil,dirt or crap.
Few pics of the fitted pipes,with new gasket thing.
Note-I Will loosen again and glue the gasket in place,and fit a washer to the bolt that holds this mess to the inner wheel arch as I think it's needed,..when the main rubber pipe is connected.
