I wish i had done that now

Well today i have been busy again. The seat is in and I have been making the megajolt loom's and fitting them. I got my new denso working that I got off matty and got my new sexy thermostat in. Also on the list of stuff to fit was the weber tps ,edis, make a coil bracket , sort the twin throttle cables out and get the loom in. Now I will let the pics do the chating.

As I have been away all week hill walking in the sunny black mountains with work, I have not looked at the car to tonight.

This is the New old stock pot joints I got of ebay.


So I pulled out the old pot joints and put
the merto joints on so far, so good.

It was a bit of a f##k about as the rear bulkhead keep getting in the way, also welding inside the boot is not much fun *frown* but i only had 1 fire.

I need to start the other side tomorrow and piss about with a brace bar.

I know that it says Hardy Spicer joint on the box, but that is not a "Hardy Spicer" joint as we know it.

Thats the brace bar done its a bit of aero bar and all the last mock up done.

I also had to go and find a paint shop that could match my colour, as I was there I got all the bits I needed to start the stone chipping tomorrow and then get some paint on it.

As it stands tonight all tiger sealed up.


Thanks simon.
