You would be correct sprocket.

The casing is stamped 82, so a very early A+ unit.

We did some cooking the other night...




All new bearings in the transfer case and box. Just need to get a few more bearings and thrusts and clean the gear set up and it can go back together.





Had a tinker today and got the new intercooler sorted (rad is just chucked in atm). Hopefully it will be an improvement over the last setup.

I couldn't find anything bigger that would go in and give decent pipe routing. If it's good enough for Jimster, then...

Good work Andy. However I think my option of going to the pub was better. *smiley*

Tidy job, when are you going to get it all the same colour though! Ideal opportunity with the engine out and all.....

Thanks lads.

We're a bit pushed for time at the moment, we've both been busy until now so it's going to be a bit of a push to get the spannering done ready for avon etc.

Just dropped an old gearbox in and started playing with the new exhaust, all coming together nicely.

Got the old zaust of this morning and worked out how I'm going to run the new one.



Then I dropped the old gearbox back in and refitted the new intercooler and rad. All the pipework seems to route well and clear everything. Much tidier than the last setup. *smiley*




Plenty of room for a second smaller rad fan. I may run that one constantly and have it on a timed relay along with a small pump to circulate coolant through the turbo after shutdown.

Better than it cooking itself like it used to and we already have the pump. *wink*

I was just looking at the battery tray and wondering where I put my hole saws....

I reckon the larger rad will see to the heat, we can test first and add more weight/cooling if required.

Been trying to get the new turbo mounted up on the manifold. Lots of fire and swearing later, the studs are still in the housing. *angry* Will have to try that again another day. Did a bit of porting on the manifold.






Then pulled the dash out and junked, the heater, pipework and sound deadening.



Then made something a bit lighter to go in it's place.
