Shaun's Super S (K11)

[Shaun]

Update:
Fitted "New" sump from the scrappy (however we snapped a bolt on the inside of the block!)
Let the sealant settle overnight and this morning put the oil in and started first time, oil light went out etc. i put in 3.2 litres as i don't have a haynes to go on for this car.
Regarding the snapped bolt any ideas on how to get this out in the future as i think it will hold for now and it's caped in sealant so no real worry of it leaking.
Got loads of plans for the car just need money!

1 bolt aint gonna hurt shaun :grinning:

I know but it just makes me feel like i have done a half a**ed job
fingers crossed for no leaking. the amount of sealant we used would of kept the titanic afloat lol

 

[superls]

drill and tap really, that would be my preferred option

 

[Shaun]

Well took it around for a 20 odd mile drive today high revs, low revs, motorway town etc. and no leaks! (Y) Very happy for the £10 solution.

Was thinking about that high temp stuff from halfords. Should be more than enough protection.

Just a different set of wiper blades to normal shape ones, seem to work better.

I shoehorned 6x9's into my original parcel shelf grills - had to take a dremel to the internal bracket to make them fit, and obviously enlarge the holes in the shelf itself but they look factory still... if I ever get around to painting my shelf black i'll take some photos to show how it's done

Did you just use normal black paint on the shelf?
