More done this arvo, seat, harness, extinguisher and roll cage padding all fitted, door panels, window rubbers and glass installed, inside door panels fitted, headlights aligned, gave it a bit of a vacuum out, and drove it home. Not too bad, there’s a nasty rattle coming from the rear that needs che...

More done, radiator overflow bottle mounted, heat wrap put over wiring loom and starter cable, doors fitted and sort of aligned... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50000563598_87525c04b1_k.jpg 8FEE2E6F-3D29-49EE-9A18-F0C5723B2BDD by paul nielson , on Flickr https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/500...

Not sure why flickr did that with my last lot of photos, but you get the idea. Brakes are bled and we’ve got a pedal, accelerator cable is in, just got to finish the pedal tomorrow, exhaust is made, X pipe and two Chinese copies of flowmasters, sounds mean! Wiring is almost done, alternator now char...

Does anyone have a source for perana badges ? A mate of mine is building one.

Dashboard and gauges next

Thanks mate, I’m glad someone is reading these posts, sort of feel like I’m talking to no one on here sometimes. A lot more progress today, almost none of it was mine though. I got a specialist in who makes up braided brake hoses, after seeing the job he did on my mates turbo anglia, I had to get it...

I actually cleaned up all the shit I’ve got sitting under and around it today, I’ve got a guy coming tomorrow who is going to make up braided brake hoses for the entire car from pedal box to calipers, as well as the clutch hose too, so thought I’d better clean it up so that he can work on it easily ...

Bought a new air cleaner as well, not sure if black is right for it, but it’s growing on me. Still need to shorten up the stud. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/48288037881_04f2299486_k.jpg FF18FB1A-8E5C-4B9D-8995-229D29D09B3B by paul nielson , on Flickr And a couple of pointless side shots 8-) h...

And fitted the senders for the temp gauge and oil pressure light+sender, then filled the radiator for the first time. No leaks either! Speaking of leaks, I’ve had a persistent weep from the steering rack for a while, was annoying me, but not enough to do anything about it until today, when I tighten...

Also bought the new coil and mounted it beside the power steering pump

Progress continues. Fuel pump, filter, fittings and hose is all fitted, used -10 hose which has an internal diameter of 1/2 inch, or 13mm for the metric amongst us, should flow plenty of fuel. Also made up a circular plate that bolts over the old plenum chamber, and made up the fittings with the new...

Basically cut it off at the base, but left the rear still attached, then lifted it up by about an inch and filled in the gap.

Still working on the fuel system, went a bit crazy on the weekend and bought some -10 Teflon braided fuel line, new pump and regulator,plus some fittings, over $500 in parts! :shock: started figuring out where the pump and filter would go tonight, got all the holes drilled and riv nuts inserted, loo...

Did something pointless but enjoyable, and it gives me some motivation too. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/47071845364_aef064547e_z.jpg 7ECB4425-4138-4E23-9C8D-2AD3EB65F5A0 by paul nielson , on Flickr Stuck her eyes back in, plus dropped the bonnet on to see how it all looks. Also installed the...
