Relay and Fuse bracket turned out awesome, I'm gonna use that idea. Will be down tomorrow to hook up the speed signal and give your dash back.

yea nice progress luc well done mate keep at it very interesting reading this thing

no worries dude but won't be there till 4 30 ish doing a u pull it trip.. anything you need? they have a panelvan there.

 

ok so my handbrake always felt sloppy... turns out my floorpan was cracked!!! all the way around the nut.

so here the fix feels great now.

 

 

intall this and yay

 

ecu sitting in the glove box...

yay the day has come... the motor runs and seems to run well.

 

can't rev it or anything as the water pump is shagged so there isn't any water in the system..

this will be sorted out on the wkend... also will have the clutch cylinders finished off by sunday as well.

so i'll be able to take it for its first spin around the shed complex.

 

3 doors left to hang and polish... front guards need polishing as well as the bonnet. then its finished!!!

 

i can smell victory... lol.

 

big thanks to jono for the wiring... work is neat as lovin it.

 

 

ok so i continued on with polishing this arvo... also tried to figure out what the hideous hissing/howling noise was coming from the intake side of the engine.

 

i believe my fpr is semi rooted... kinda explains why the car is hard to start after 1 day...

 

so on the list this week...

front windscreen seal

single wire 02 sensor..

setup the clutch cylinders.

touch up my gaurd and one of my doors.

finish polishing

fit doors and install glass.

DRIVE!!!

so it drives!!! and it drives really nicely... revs up real quick very responsive

and smooth!!! exhaust note is nice.. sounds great on limiter.. induction noise from the pod is great.

thermo fan setup works really nicely... blows a gale when they turn on.

clutch is nice and grabby and being hydraulic it has a nice feel to it.

glass is going in on tuesday.

congrats luc, great achievement

ok so the car was finished for my wedding on saturday. was one of the wedding cars and looked great!

drove well.

yesty was trying to sort out a starting issue... not understanding the problem but it is tempremental about starting.

then all of a sudden it started and i get a really loud whining noise.... i look in the bay... i have a little window where i can see into the g/box... and i see SPARKS!!! flying around the flywheel.... WTF..

anyway rear main oil seal... front main oil seal and the rear g/box seal all leaks!!! so the motor has to come out again anyway to fix all that.! spewin but meh i just hope the sparks aren't anything serious.

Faark don't like the sound of those sparks, strange one.

The car looks awesome, pictures don't do it justice but here's some any way.

 

 

As Luc's wedding car

 

Getting push-started LOL

Congrats again Luc. It was a great day, thanks for the invite :)

CONGRATS!

Congrats dude!

 

Sparks sound like the flywheel hitting the adaptop plate. Check clearances when you pull the motor out.

hey hey hey. i'm SORRY tom but i feel at home with that umbrella.

 

that could be your engine trying to earth out? considering you have 1 small earth running marn... food for thought.
