New rims riverside trispokes and painted bezels and put tints on bulbs putting front lip on tomorrow.

quick snap. not alot has happened passed certification should get cert plate on monday i hope will keep you posted.

electric fan in :D

My dads mate came around last night and got the horn working. steering coloum wasnt earthed. So ive put all the interior back together still waiting on some news about rev counter. I also have tidied up the wiring in the engine bay. Took it for a drive today too and she got pretty hot so i think ill put a thermo fan on. I don't have the ae86 radiator fan shroud so the standard ae86 fan is pretty much useless without a shroud.

Thanks guys! Took some pictures (as always) while i was draining radiator fluid and putting anti freeze in. Lol skiddn it hard! haha

Thanks man, wasn't to sure on them at first but there growing on me haha. Update: Put pinstripe on passenger side and gave her a clean. Also got the washer bottle to work, put weather shields on and put interior back together. Just need to get horn working, see whats wrong with my rev counter i got the other day and give the inside a clean then she'll be all ready for certification :D ill post some pictures tomorrow if i get time.

Shes buffed! and put pinestrip on drivers side to see what it looks like and i think yes!

Have checked every fuse i could find numerous times and i can't find any broken ones. I have checked the fuse for the ignition and it is fine. there is no fuse for the fuel pump i don't think. Would it be a poor conection to the ignition barrel not completing the circuit for the pump to work when key is "on"? i have checked the wire leading to the ignition from the relay for the pump and it seems fine.

Hey Guys I'm a bit lost with the situation I'm in at the moment. My ke70 wagon 16v bluetop with a ae82 internal fuel pump stopped working when i was backing it out the other day and then a puff of smoke came from the battery area. I have repaired that part of the loom that got chomped by the wheel by soldering together and heat shrinking. (drivers side loom under guard was rubbing on wheel) I can't find any other melted wires/plugs or lose earths. Replaced the pump relay still didnt work. swapped ecu over still nothing. I did put power directly to the fuel pump and works then hooked up the power wire to the wire that leads to the pump and it worked. So i have hooked everything back up how it should be and pump still doesnt work when i turn key to "on". so i was wondering if theres anything else i could check or do????? thanks

Filled her up the other day Still not buffed :down:

Ill get a better picture of the interior soon.

Heres a picture of the interior at the moment.

Hi guys! Completely forgot about this build thread haha Just remembered about it when my mate came across it the other day. Thought id show ya guys what ive been doing/done to it and keep it alive. First off I got a pair of TE dunlop's imported from japan. 14x6.5 +4 offset so plenty dish for 6.5's. Took her for a drive around the block so i took a picture on its first proper outing haha Took a few pic's of the heart when i was bored one day Then came the time for exhaust system. 2 1/4" straight through with directional resonator to take baffel away on deceleration and high flow muffler. Few snaps for the fun of it Got some tires for dunlops Bit of shopping kyb rear shocks rubber for the wats and metal for the driveshaft loop Bit of a collection of manuals etc Cleaned the garage up after dad had finished making the rear shed so put the fx-gt in there and turned the cortina around. Much more room :D More snaps Second photo is the car being cut for buffing. And again also put mudflaps on front and a twin cam 16v badge and lower half of front lip. Came across this at local shopping centre. Dem wheels! Fx-gt in back shed Anyways thats all for now!

very nice! good work Brett. keep it up looking forward to it being finished! :D

Got few things done lately, painted hinges (forgot to paint them when the rest of the car got painted lol) put mud flaps on and painted spare wheel cradle. can't fit jack under diff now because its so low the spare wheel stops me from gettin it under the diff . Just means i have to put on blocks now. Also redrilled the mudflaps so they sit flush not pointing inwards

Bit of work done today fliitttttthhhhh

Sad angry annoyed. So many mixed emossions right now took it for a drive on sunday and went to go change into second (wasnt going slow) then a loud crunching sound happened and i cannot change down into second from third but i can select second from first. So it looks like syncro is worn out as it is a 27 year old gearbox youd exspect it to happen some time soon. Losing interest in this pretty fast now so much shit goes wrong, just want the ʞ©$ɟing thing on the road!

Fixed the cluster guage and wiper problem today some wires where stuffed and fuse's were blown. Just gotta make the front water squirty thingy what ever ya call it for ya wipers work and fix one indicator tomorrow. then i just have to sort out my front door cards as ive lost the drivers one so i have to improvise haha and then put rear seatbelts in. Getting pretty close to completion now. can't wait!

After putting the driveshaft in and taking her for a drive i then notice the ends arnt phased... so it vibrates real bad at certin revs but its not that bad just need to turn one end around a bit then she'll be sweet. On other news the warning lights on the cluster gauge arnt lighting up when ignition is turned on its not the bulbs as ive put new ones in so i might have to go over every wire and plug to see if somethings unplugged. Also considering weather to put a rev counter cluster in from an ae70. Not to hard to find in NZ which is good but just want to know how easy or hard it is to install it any help would be muchly appreciated thanks.

Thanks man gotta have everything looking nice and yea have always had an interest in car ever since i started watching dad work on his. Ok so big news got driveshaft done and took her for the first test drive tonight! very excited. after 3 1/2 long years it finally moves! Got my spare struts shortened just need welding then get steel sleeves and weld them on le driveshaft :D

wee edit

Ok so not alot has been happening. just put front brakes on and tightened up front sus put split pins on then put brake fluid in and bleed them then did the hydro as well. Also sorted out driveshaft. have got the right length tube just have to weld ends on then put oil in gearbox and take her for a spin. Also noticed that my front and rear wipers are not working :/ And when i was bleeding hydro last night i noticed that my rack and pinion box is touching the gearbox/block bit. Is this normal?? or do i need to make spacers for the mounts or something. any info help will be muchly appreciated thanks.

Thanks man! Fixed the brake light problem just needed to adjust the plug in the pedal box. Also Painted the calipers, so tomorrows job is to lube up all the front suspension and put split pins in then put the brakes on and then top all the fluids up. Once that's done ill get onto my dad to finish off that driveshaft which he's been meaning to do for the last two months :hmm:

Yea dash looks far better than standard. Removed all the ugly hard poo brown crap off it and covered it in the black carpet like fabric. As for the brake light i haven't had a look at it yet but I'm sure it'll be something along those lines. And yea i have thought of the ecu getting hot but i only wrapped it one side, so it shouldn't be a problem. If it does get hot ill just have to un wrap it.

Its bigger than standard ke70 by 3mm and it fit on easy and had all seals replace so i thought id just chuck that on as i have ae86 brakes and save money by not revamping my standard one. A few other things done tonight. Put more interior in and mounted ecu and wrapped it in that 3M carbon wrap to make it look fancy as i couldnt really hide it anywhere so it sits where the passengers foot panel goes. So my rear tail light brakes stay on all the time now ever since i hooked up the plug that leads to the pedal box??? Just got to sort out the front door cards and get some seat belt bolts for the back and a bracket which holds the upper back seat in place. Tomorrow ill get the reverse plug off the gearbox and see if i have another one that'll fit as that one is broken and finished off cleaning up the calipers. Suppose i better have a look into this tail light drama too.....
