Ok following on from the other day when I said id post the day after well.......here it is a few days late!
The engine is running well, starts up first turn of the key, the blowing manifold has been sorted and the exhaust note sound sweet (especially seen as I built the exhaust!
) not too loud but just a nice burble.
The 2 spots of 20mm sq welding id left have now been finished and sealed and the front o/s brake calliper has also been un-seized.
The interior trim is also all in, just need a plate self tapping into the hole where the original gear stick came through and a small piece of grey carpet sticking over.
I also took the opportunity to remove the lower thick leaf out of the springs while I had a spare half hour which has lowered it slightly, hopefully it won't affect the ride too much.
All the lights etc are working inc the reverse
I did have a go at getting the speedo working but im going to have to look into this as the transit has 3 wires but the jag box only has a plug using 2,
wiring diagrams are at hand!
Ive also fitted my stereo and rear 6x9s.........now I know im getting close to finish
I have also ordered a alu header tank as the standard transit sphere is too big to sit on the left side qhere it idealy needs to be, I'm just waiting for it to arive so I can get it modified for the correct size pipwork.
Ive basically been preping for its mot which shouldn't be too far away now.....eeeek!!!
I'll try and remember to get a few up to date pics
