i got my bolts back:
they look great and i couldnt wait to fit them, i was a bit gutted when i realised id forgot the washers and they were all rusty
so ocd kicked in again and off the washers went along with lots of other bits to be chrome plated!
while im waiting and the forums been off ive been doing a few other bits and bobs while i can.
ive done the throttle body wiring, took me a while to find the air temp sensor plug but eventually found it stuck in the reverse sensor plug, its been there since i did the box and that was a long time ago now
so i treat it to a new sensor:
here is some of the wiring ive tried to make it all look like it left the factory and i think ive pulled it off.
il post pics of it in the engine bay when i get some brackets back!
i took the handbrake cables off and digged out the new ones
the drivers side was easy to change but the near side needed the exhaust heat shield dropping, fited with new retaining clip:
the spark plugs need changing for colder running ones and i nearly bought some till i found these and realise ive had them ages, so out with the old and in with the new:
i spent some time deciding on the best place for the fan relay box and decided on here:
i sealed the box at both ends with the stuff i used on the sump to stop any water getting in.
ive trial fitted the filter to see what it looks like:
but it all has to come off as im not happy with this welding and its position is wrong, it is to close to the radiator to get a proper bend on to meet the other pipework going to the intercooler.
.
i started fitting the intercooler then realised it looked a bit to close to the rad to fit the spal fans in, so i removed the cooler and fitted the spal slimline fans first, now im just thinking the best way to mount the coolers.
im currently waiting for my chrome plating bits back, a heater matrix box, a tps plug and the intercooler pipework, this and a few other bits and bobs and its all ready to rock n roll baby yeah!
canht wait although it does need the bonnet and bumper sprayinga and a new drivers seat.
