Need to find someone to help finish my car.

Post by Worbs »

Hi all, i need to find someone to help finish my car, im at a point where im now stuck and am to unsure about things to attempt them myself, i need my cam belt fitted and timed up, oil-water hoses fitted, an apexi avcr and safc2 set up and few other bits and bobs, as the car is sat at mine i really need someone to come here to do it, and within 2 weeks :roll: lol, anyone got any ideas of who could maybe do it? getting desperate now as im almost finished and want the car back asap.



Cheers

Ahhh, doh!

puttin a cambelt on is not to hard mate, if you download one of the online workshop manuals it tells you how to do it :D

My tip, double check all the cam pulley line up with 1 another, then put the belt on, and before letting teh tensioner off, hand crank it round to check you are cock on when the pulley marks line up again. if they do, your away, let the tensioner off and tighten it fully, then put the covers on.

You don't need the Apexi stuff sorted to start the car, so get it running then once you know its going okay, then you can drive it somewhere to get those set up!

Oil and water hoses, best to look at lots of on-line pics etc to make sure you have them in the right place, this is where taking pics when you dismantle the car is handy :wink:

I would then be tempted to get the car trailered to someone who can do it mate, might save you a load of hassle in the long run!
