Project rebuild....

[karl_tate]

cracked on with the wiring again today and its very nearly there. the fuse box is all finished and loom taped up with all the power feeds connected up.

the battery lead is only in place and not clipped in yet, ready for the alternator and starter to be connected to it.









also took most of the bits off the water pump and filler neck and taped up the rest ready for glass shot blasting



i have found that the paint in the bay is very easy to chip off though

looking good mate! very tidy loom your going to have too!

[MaLicE]

why not take the turbo compressor housing off to polish it?? would be alot easier lol...

[leeincivic]

man what an awesome thread!! looking spot on mate, can see why its much easier to paint the bay with the engine out :god lol

love what ya done with the fuse box, was thinking of just moving all mine to the pass corner coz av got shut of abs but never thought of putting in a different box! good thinkin old chap lol, so is it a wiring amateur job do you think or could do with a bit of nonse? where did you get the wiring and box from? and lastly any tips and tricks to do it?

cheers dude keep the project comin!!!!:)

[karl_tate]

yeh loom should look pretty neat

i tried taking the housing off but it wont budge for some reason, plus it will be getting checked over soon anyway.

lol yeh a hell of a lot easier, i wouldnt like to do it with the engine and everything in

the other reason i put it in a different box was because the battery is going in the boot and i have removed alot of fuses, relays and wiring to simplify it all down.

i had all the wiring diagrams to work out, what i could removed and what needed to be left etc etc and took a great deal of time to figure it out, i hate electrics lol

got all the stuff i needed from here

[karl_tate]

no such luck guys, clutch hasnt turned up but i think i was dreaming a bit for it to be here today

but there will be an update non the less

[karl_tate]

back at it again today.

my main aim was to get the engine ancillaries back on and built up.

i got my dad to put the LIM and water filler neck/pump through his glass shot washer and they came out great until i put them through the dishwasher to throughly clean them out. the washing tablet has made them go a bit dull but still look great.






i also made up the gaskets for the water pump and filler neck



its all nearly complete now with just a few more bits to go on here and there.


















doesnt anyone know what the thread on the right is for?? im sure i will work it all out once i get my head around it all again.



all packed back up for the day, had enough now.

Does the dog fetch yer spanners and stuff for you? After all, she looks like a retriever...Arf :Giggle! Sorry, dunno what came over me there. Looking awesome, dude, I gotta admire your attention to detail on everything, and doing it all right now so it never needs doing again. Anyone who re-wires their entire car is nothing short of a witch doctor in my eyes!:god

[karl_tate]
