Jobs to do while its off the road

[JulesBliss]

Hi all

Going to be doing some jobs to the Nob while its off the road. Here is my list so far

Floor pan removal, powdercoat and reseal
Clean up chassis and repaint areas
Tunnel cooling mod
Replace heatshielding
Exhaust wrap
Coolant pipes
TDS
Diff
Gearbox shot peened and polished
Install Oil pressure/temp gauge
Upgrade Intercooler to Pro Alloy
Get fan shroud for Radiator
New brake pads and discs


Anything else that should do while im there? The car will be on the ramps for a couple of weeks, and im looking to bring her back to showroom condition, while doing some upgrades so i can run around over 400bhp

Thanks
Julian

Hi Julian , pretty impressive list !!!! If you are fitting new disc ect I would also fit new hubs and bearings , STD ones are very poor and will have some runout on them !!!!

[JulesBliss]

Where would i get Hubs and Bearings? direct from noble, or are they ford parts?

Yes, its a good list, im looking to hopefully make it as nice as it once was, while doing some upgrades that will help it take more abuse!!

[TuxMan]

Don,t get Noble ones see wiki for details of replacements , i use Andrew page for all my bits !!

Cheers Tux.

I also want to wrap the fuel tank, lines etc in heat resistant material. And ideally modify the fuel lines to stop the buzzing once and for all. Any ideas on how to do this?

Is it worth doing the ARP studs and uprated valve springs?

Im trying to justify to myself its not worth upgrading the turbos while the engine is out....

Any other bits i may aswell do while its off the road?

Hi Julian i do a modified tank that helps alot , change the pickup and move outlet to the back of the tank and change to a -10 outlet and also fit 2 x -6 inlets at the top , this helps the pump return and can stop some of the buzzing , to be honest a 044 pump will always buzz !!! Tank mod improves fuel flow !!

yes fit ARP head bolts and defo do the valve springs !!!!



here is a picture of how i have done my own pump and Funky pump setup .
