Hi philippeF,
Your car looks like it will be incredible when you are done. Is it a 72...I dont see the oil filler door on the quarter panel. Keep the pictures coming. :-)

the car had already the rear "RS" flares and RS engine when i bought it
that's why i decided to rebuild a replica...
thanks
Philippe

HI just a small observation on your oil pump lock tabs, thay are not locking the nuts, pop a spanner on the nut with the locktab as it is and you will find the locktab and nut will turn loose if you try to loosen the nut, i stoped using the locktabs and now use schnorr washers to fit the oil pump.

regards mike

thanks !
according to some "who know" guys here, i've not used the oil pump tabs....

i've done what you said, + loctite.
thanks anyway, the engine is sealed, let's wait !...
