Did manage a 20 minute brake caliper reassembly though as a quick fix to a refurb kit! :P
Trying to find a decent bottom end is like trying to find rocking horse sh1te so budget for rings/bore/hone
If your seals are gone in the calipers get them done asap0 -

Also, the bottom end will be fully rebuilt including polished crank before it even lets my head touch it

Througly cleaned wheels yesterday. I don't think they were ever cleaned like the way I did them. I got some wonder wheels cleaner to remove the tarred on brake dust that was there for years. The results are pretty good, I'm happy out anyway. 0

Engine is fully rebuilt now. Gearbox and loom etc are all back on it just needs to be dropped in tomorrow. It should be on the dyno after lunch tomorrow for the run in and will be ready to tune on Saturday....... thing is I'm tuning it myself 0

What started as a very slight petrol smell off the engine on Monday turned into 'ah... better look into it NOW' on Thursday evening when it was MUCH worse.
Found this between the fuel rail and the fuel pressure regulator ! More holes than a lace curtain.

Started to build up the tool racking for the rear of the Smart today. Have the permenant false floor in and carpeted, and putting a quick release secondary floor in there that the racking will mount to. 4 butterfly clasps will unlock it all so I can lift it out and turn it into a normal car at the weekends.
I'm addicted to the smell of freshly sawn wood - I never ever ever get tired of it. Should have been a carpenter 0 -

telling ya lads its a great feeling when your lil honda comes in and jump starts a really big jeep
your man was really nice and was just stuck in the carpark of B & Q with his daughter with the battery dead on his jeep and was very grateful that i helped and i was glad to help (after wards there was a tenner for me but as much as i tried to refuse he forced me to take it !)0 -

Thanks! Turns out well if it isn't rushed. I sat down with a cup of tea and all the stuff needed to cut and apply it. Was like being a kid again sitting down with crayons 0 -

Fab job ! Really looks the biz, and I don't normally like CF. Would that vinyl stick to the outside of the car, ie. the wing mirrors ?0 -

Well done, nice little project, cruise control is the right shot these days, too easy to coast above the limit without it on a long spin.0
