Good afternoon all! It’s been some time since I posted on here and there’s been so many updates… I will fill you all in on the latest as there’s been loads!!! Still working on the thing so once done I’ll get some pics up… in the meanwhile, I can say I’ve rebadged it to the appropriate spec...

Hi mate, I have an old heater hose but it doesn't have a rubber o ring or a clip attached to it. If yours has this, you're welcome to have it for free to try?

Fit the new seal first and see how that goes. If it’s leaking from the plastic housing itself it’s tricky to do but you just need patience and small hands! I had the pipe split and break off which want easy for me to do but my dad could. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Sandra! Well good news is it passed the MOT!!! Car was fantastic getting there and back, power felt good, I need to check for leaks though as I think I have one or two leaks somewhere… I’ve taxed the car and was about to take it for a spin, but white smoke and coolant was the...

Thanks Sandra! Few updates on the car, so the electric windows was baffling me as I bought some fuses which did nothing. So I started to understand how the system works and in short, everything runs off the drivers side door switch. The window kill switch has a 12v feed from the CL pump which...

Good evening all! So it’s been a right weekend! It started off with trying to get the car ready to start back up. Getting everything worth such as the exhaust and cat back on the car after doing the gearbox. Honestly it was such a pain in the **** and I give people dues for doing that job...

Thanks Rav! Come down to see it one day! Had such a long weekend on this car. Dad and I started to remove the gearbox a week or so ago, and on Saturday we managed to remove the gearbox with great effort to reveal a complete **** up of which was my fault! It’s clear as day it’s coming from...

Good evening all! So from the last post, the engine was started and worked! It settles nicely now, idle does fluctuate but I think there may be a few air leaks which I can sort later. The bigger issue was the oil leak which I believe was the input shaft seal on the gearbox. I can’t remember...

Thanks bud! I’ve had a right weekend with the car. Last night it ended with the car looking like this: Managed to get the whole car piped up ready to get the exhaust on and the front end on. The exhaust ended up being a right little pain but my dad did that all by himself, so kudos to him for...

Car looks mint mate! I hope you feel better as well bud! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Good evening all! I hope you are having a splendid NYE! Done quite abit today, managed to find the alternator link lead and fit it to the starter. Should have done that when the engine was out really because it was not easy to fit! Next was just a task of wiring everything back up. It was a...

Good morning all! I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas. I’ve done some work on the car during the holidays but not much. Both front shafts are back in and the prop is also back in The only issue is getting that gear linkage back in, but I’ve misplaced the fixing for the stabiliser rod...

It’s pretty difficult but I guess not impossible to put something decent behind the bumper. I’ll have a look when I get to that bit and see if it’s worth doing. Failing that there is always WMI Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So, the new reservoir is here with the breather pipes and coolant pipes. For those who don’t know, I have a new radiator which I bought some new pipes and a temp switch which felt right. We’ll see how these keep temps consistent from the OEM one. My dad has already built the rad pack back up...

Thanks Rav! It’s getting there, and dad loves snacks whilst I work haha! Been getting on with bleeding the clutch. To which it worked well a part from when the brake reservoir burst! I wasn’t using more than 20psi but I think when I change this. I’ll use 12-15psi when it’s done so had to...
