All looking good. Just make sure the pinch bolt on the top clamp of the steering column doesn’t catch the headers. Makes for a interesting first test drive! Just ask Craig.

Funny enough it did, but I reversed that joint to move the UJ a bit and it\'s fine.

If you mean the loom plug from the GTO? I will have once I\'ve cut off all I need. Have you got the plug to go into it then?

I didn\'t go the X-14 route, I found it just as easy going from behind the dials.

This man is a super hero:god  I\'m still hoping that I will be able to drive it away but if it comes to it I\'d be very grateful, cheers.

Very quick and short update from my phone, looks like all my wiring was ok after all. Can\'t stop, moving house soon and I\'d like to bring the car with me! So better get on and put some of it back together.

I had a few crossed fingers here.

Many thanks, I\'m not out of the woods yet. I need to put the car back together, MOT\'d etc etc all while packing up all our gear and arranging to move house. It\'s getting a bit like the old plate spinning on poles act.
I have considered not giving the new owners a key to the garage and waiting until they go to work so I could carry on working on the car.:rolleyes:

I may need your services yet:guinness
