hopefully get it plumbed in and wired up before the weeks out.

 

also got my digital dial fuel sender through, and some other toys for her. so its just a matter of time now, i dont need to spend any more money on her (except mot/tax/paint).

 

a BIG thanks goes to dubs for all his help, much appreciated mate :cheers:

Lol. I knew i should have taken on that bet when i bought the engine off you, james ;)

 

Good progress reid :thumb: shouldn't be too long before you have it up and running. What sort of power you hoping for?

 

standard atm mate, a decent 170/180 by FF and then i'll take it from there.

 

hopefully gonna get stuck in at the weekend and get a few things done and if i can the wiring done and engine running!

wee bit more done last night,

 

got the rear beam off to finish the polybusing and get the bits of the underside that i missed sealed.

 

also got the tank off and started changing the fuel pumps over, and got the engine water pipes plumbed in along with the power steering. then had to weld in some nuts as a bracket to hold the metering unit so it didnt sit on the gearbox.

 

ive decided not to work the next few days and get tore into the car so hopefully get her running in the next few days then its full steam ahead!

 

 

engine bay now,
