Kermit II (K-II) Triple rotor rebuild project

Sicknote · April 10, 2015, 01:21:04 PM

Hi guys,

Yep just a bit of silliness around the garage as we all seen to have German cars all of a sudden.

Thanks Clive, the prob was definitely the case that the Brise unit's couldn't cope with the four
fuel pumps and dropped the voltage down to such a level it was affecting the sparks through
the coils. after many hours of frustration, blood, sweat and tears we've re-designed the brackets
to take the original FD alternator and immediately we were seeing 13.7 on the digi dash so that's
how it will stay now.

Hobbawobba...... sorry if I came across harsh, we'd been working on the car for 12 hours straight
trying to sort annoying issues out and what you said was just the last straw of the day and popped
an aneurysm..... sorry. it's not on the car anymore..... honest !!!

What happened? :/

Sicknote · April 26, 2015, 10:09:24 PM

Hi Japi, the bonnet ripped off and took out the windscreen and the roof !!

I managed to source a new bonnet, headlight covers and mend the roof and get
her fixed up as best as we could in 2 days, not perfect but as you can see... not too
shabby either.
