(S) My seicento Project

Mdf bottom with mdf 6x9 ring on dowels then stretch a tshirt over and fibre glass it so i have no door handles inside all controlled via poppers so that allowed me to cover the whole top part of the door theres pics somewhere on this thread about how i done it

im gonna try get my van working this weekend thats if the pistons havent destroyed every valve or valve destroyed pistons if so ill just have to get a whole new engine never buy a french CAR/VAN

my plans was to start cracking on with my wiring inside as you can see a complete mess once that tidied up was going to make loom to run my megasquirt but now looks like ill have to hold back a bit

considering this was meant to be back on the road at christmas not going to well at the mo, need my van to earn me money and now thats gonna cost me money to fix

Looks quite good, who made it?



Coming along nicely, just got to keep your head up and not rush to the finish gaz. Really looking forward to seeing this finished

Jordan

Lol thanks to Jordan and his exellent machining skills

this car is going to look awesome when its done. spesh with the new dash. i will hopefully have time end of this week to collect if not it will be the weekend as i dont want it being posted for obvious reasons.

i shall ring you up in the week mate to arrange a time for you to come to mine and collect it.

If your no about mine....me, i rolled the main housing,got it welded up at work(my tig aint working yet), got the lid welded on, and shaped abit of 2" exhaust pipe to fit and got that welded on aswell

sounds good mate


well i towed my van to my mates house today to have a look at the damage, i timed it all up and tried to start engine no joy, so off come the rocker and took cam out as soon as i took cam off a shim bucket on the 3rd cylinder popped up sitting around 1" higher then the other 7, so i taped every shim with a hammer but the one that stuck up the shim popped off and the rod was very high i pulled at it wih my molegrips and the Valve rod come straight out looks like the piston hit the valve and broke the head off, didnt have time to take the head off but starting early morning tomorrow to see if the valve head has gone through the piston or damaged it badly *fingers crossed*

if it has done bad damage then ill have to scrap the van and get my tax refunded itll be £500 down the pan if its just broke the valve and no others are damaged and the piston or barrel arnt fecked then itll be wiser for me to repair i hate diesels lol

sorry about the van gaz but kudos for sticking with the sei project

the worst that happended couldnt pull the other valve off the head even using a hammer and chisle mega ****ed £500 wasted off the the scrapyard it goes 2002 51plate citroen c15 now dead

Well that is well F**ked

Wouldn't it be easier to get a cheap engine rather than scrap the van?

Edit or even break it yourself you could probably get a decent amount for the fuel pump alone

edit edit or take the pump off before you scrap it

the shell isnt all that i only brought it because was a cheap running van to get me started in my own business i was told it needed serviceing but kept driving it done over 1000miles in it since ive had it then bang it went :\ gonna get a ford van next i think i know how they work lol

started doing my seicento again this week, so far ive fitted a electronic boost controller, and also made my loom for megasquirt and put my LC1 wideband lamba in, im just waiting on a few bits on ebay so i can finish my loom off

few new pics...

Where did you get that shiney bob from? I really want one of those to fit a gsr kit to.

Luke.

if youd have read the thread then it tells u check 1 or 2 pages back

done a bit more on it today, used 8way blocks to attach engine/inside looms together and also relays for ignition on and fuel pump ect....

tomorrows task is to completely neaten up and redo most of the huge mess of wires when i ripped my dash out lol

gaz, hurry up

i wanna go in it
