Since the car had been sitting for so long and had collected 7 years of dust, over spray and the chrome and suspension components had started to rust. I decided to start the car all over again.
So I basically set the car up in my factory and pulled everything out of the car.
I was a bit worried about the engine as I had only had it idling before and being an import motor I didn't know its history, so I thought it was worth while to get it looked at while I had it out of the car. I took the motor to Graham Wilkins he stripped the engine down and crack tested the crank. He said the motor was in good condition but there were signs of detonation on the cast pistons. After thinking about it for all of 30 seconds we decided to rebuild it haha. Can not say enough about Graham. He is a top bloke always picks up his phone, is honest, trustworthy and a master machinist from the old school. It refreshing to meet a performance shop owner who isn't a wannabe drug dealer.
Give him a call if your in Sydney and rebuilding an engine on (02) 9674 7037
