I guess rebuilding the bottom end depends on the milage. I wouldn't have known about the bent rod for example. It also depends on your previous compression. Or if you're putting any stress on the bottom end.

Anyways, it'll be 3 weeks till my next update. I hate waiting...

Nothing new to report, just a couple pictures of a nice clean head resurfaced and valves done.

stock size?

Parts back from the machine shop. Balanced crank, wiseco pistons and k1 rods. clutchmasters flywheel and stock harmonic balancer.








The KL31 crank is a bit over 35lbs so I saved almost 5lbs weight off the crankshaft.

Oh my god, the state of those pistons is absolutely smashing.




Looking great!

Yeah very nice. cant wait to do a ZE rebuild down the line

I made the decision to scrap this car. Mostly because of color. It has too many. I found my white MX-3 that I've wanted and will be using that as a base.

So now it's time to watch this car slowly become disassembled and scrapped.

I have the interior packed away. Seats and panels:


I've sold off a lot of miscellaneous parts. I'm storing whatever else I determine may be useful as well.
I do not have much time to work on cars so it's a slow process. I generally remove parts as I sell them, then store whatever other miscellaneous parts I had removed during the process as spares.

At one point my garage has been such a disaster that it looked like this:



And that wasn't that long ago...

Recently I sold off the dash:


So the interior is looking like this at the moment:

I rolled her out on wheels for the last time.



Stripped all the parts on the undercarriage



And in the engine bay:



And in the rear:



And the interior:



So... Next stop, scrap yard. Goodbye little bugger.

The car's gone.
The base shell weighed 580lbs. The only parts I left on the car would be the front windshield and the gas tank. Probably weighs closer to 530ish if I removed everything.
