BEFORE: AFTER a few coats of etching primmer & heat proof paint.

Australia Status: offline Re: AW11 Restore 2016/10/19 21:03:37 (permalink) 0 Got a few parts back, just waiting to clear some room as to start this smallport rebuild. Got all parts now, so a few weeks this one should be up and running :-) Ah... maybe a little longer, my mate has to completely rewire so it takes the smallport engine. Found out that Im a flywheel & pressure plate short on this build....will need to source one & have it machined. More to come. post edited by Carmikey - 2016/11/13 10:03:15 Attached Image(s) AW11 parts for sale: http://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=107008 SW20 parts for sale: http://www.mr2australia.c..r2play/tm.aspx?m=105596 #20

Australia Status: offline Re: AW11 Restore 2016/11/05 21:16:14 (permalink) 0 Got a little more done today... starting to look like an engine again. Just waiting on a flywheel which got held up thru E-go, and a manifold flange (thanks Knightrous), Oh and a sandwich plate, which sits behind the flywheel - let me know if anyone has one, looks though it was missing, or I've miss placed it somewhere :-( Plans if all goes well, should be up & running by end of Nov ;-) post edited by Carmikey - 2016/11/07 15:59:17 Attached Image(s) AW11 parts for sale: http://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=107008 SW20 parts for sale: http://www.mr2australia.c..r2play/tm.aspx?m=105596 #22

Australia Status: offline Re: AW11 Restore 2016/11/13 10:00:23 (permalink) 0 Ok, quick update: Got a 'sandwich plate' in the end, installed machined flywheel, new exedy clutch plate & throw out bearing. I had to source a spacer exhaust flange otherwise the aftermarket extractors were failing on the starter motor. The extra flange gave it an 8mm clearance gap ;-) Engine complete with gearbox, just need to have the body harness loom slightly altered to suit the 4age smallport engine & its ready for installation.

A quick mock up to pressure test the radiator before its install. Just to finish up hooking up hoses, adding & bleeding fluids, finishing wiring (not me thankfully) & give it a crank over :-) Attached Image(s) AW11 parts for sale: http://www.mr2australia.com/mr2play/tm.aspx?m=107008 SW20 parts for sale: http://www.mr2australia.c..r2play/tm.aspx?m=105596 #27

This one is a little more complicated as I want everything to function correctly as it will be a road registered car, unlike my track aw11's with smallports you can remove a lot of junk / wiring as its not required.

Thanks to my good friend 'Rob' (not a forum member) who did all the wiring conversion for me and assist throughout the whole process 😉. Once it comes back from the exhaust shop, a full interior / exterior detail & it should be sweet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk #30
