stianøverland Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 hello, my name is Stian, educated as a car painter. i live in norway, so don't count on flawless spelling i im a proud owner of a 1971 manta a 1900 rally. imported from sweeden in 2006. the car was fully restored for about 8 years ago, but some minor things need a little love... some photos from the previous owner (a friend of mine) a bought the car witha broken differensial, and i had to replace it, so i bought a lsd and mounted it. i lasted for about 10 minutes, becaus a major crack in the one of the wheels inside. so i found a original open diff. and mounted that, and its finally working then i figured that the car needed some new rims, so i found some compomotive cxn's 8*16 F and 9*16 R. the center was silver when i bought them, but i had them painted next on the menu was yellow headlights( painted with HOK candy) after a little while i desided to paint the orginale rally stripes. more to come =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stianøverland Posted September 19, 2011 Author Share Posted September 19, 2011 it turned out that one of the gaskets around the intake valve on cylinder one was MISSING ?! so i had the cylinder head machined about 1 mm, also machined the valves and the valve seats. new gaskets all over, new stretch bolts, plugs and ignition system. the engine has never run this beautiful. a little clamping from the valves, but some minor adjustments are required after a major "surgery" hehe. sorry, no pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
