i attached my grab handles to the door itself under the bottom of the window, so it's able to be proper yanked

So had a very productive day today as Peugeot daves shed.

But first things first.

A couple of pics from yesterday.

the new battery terminals



I then stripped the wire to fit in the terminals.
Notice no cut strands!! years of practice



and here is the bias adjuster fitted in the dash



I didnt take any more. but will do some tomorrow.

So back to today.

Went to Daves to get my calipers and rocker covers painted.

A bit of background, I painted the rocker covers ages ago with hi temp paint, then hi temp laquer on top and for some reason it reacted badly (looked like a spiders we
Ages ago it all got rubbed back and dave started to paint it, but was too damp so we gave up and last week he tried to paint them, but the primer just reacted again.
It must be the hi temp paint, so out came the paint stripper



this took for ever but once finished looked like this



Then time for primer





then came the colour, and i absolutly love it, its a bently black and looks the business

here is young David









I am a bit gutted I couldnt bring the calipers home to start rebuilding them, but it was too cold for the paint to dry all the way so will get them tomorrow.

So did a little running around today for supplies.
Had to get the 10mm unions for the calipers and the bleed nipples.

I then had to wait all day for dave to get home so i could get my calipers as the weather was so wet today couldnt do much.

So I started my fitting the seals and bleed nipples into the calipers







getting the seals in with my sausage fingers was not that easy, but I got there in the end.

next I inserted the pistons, I used some brake fluid to lubricate them as it makes them slide in easier I have found in the past.



that clamp isnt really stong enough, but it did the job in the end.

next was to fit the dust seals.



Then was time to make up the pipes to join the 2 chambers, I had to cut up the old ones to get the protective foam bit off of it.





here is a pic of them almost done, I just have to put in 2 more pistons and make a tool to push the dust sheilds home

put them under the radiator to let the paint cure

I am just waiting for my gauges to turn up and then get them all fitted in.

Its just a sahme the weather so rubbish, but hey the calipers are all finished now ready to be pressure tested before puting under my bed.

so another day on the car.

First off I had a tidy up and threw aload of stuff out.

While doing this saw that I didnt drill one of the door supports so did that.

Bloody 5 quid for a drill bit and this happened



never happy, but never mind

Next I cut up the ECU/battery box. I forgot to take pictures.

next I drilled 3 holes in the bot for the bolt.

the bolt heads where too thick, i could of forced the ecu in but decided to grind them down a bit so the ecu slid in better





To mount it to the bulk head, it needed the studs removed, so I ground them down and painted the bare metal







the bolts where put in then bolts put on, then attatched to the bulk head, i did this for 2 reasons, 1 they act as spacers and 2 the bolts wont spin when u do them up.



here it is all done, took absolutly ages to get it right, had to grind a little bit more off the bottom bolt to get it all to fit, but its all done and fitted.

Next I started on the cooling, I fitted the new temperature switch and test fitted the relay.



I then cut off the plug for the fans on the loom ready for the wires to be removed.

Before I rip it all out there is nothing on that plug or cowling I need to keep is there, the three relays just do the fans is that correct?

Well as today is my last day off of my xmas break I thought I would get a little bit more done.

First off I got the doors finished off ready for the welding.

Off came the sound deadening (its the same as whats on the floor)



I got the sound deadening off of this door and cleaned the residue off with thinners, but then my gauges arrived so I got on with that.

I measured marked and re measured where the holes where going to go, then I got out my hole cutter.

51mm one which is ideal because you then can file the holes out to get a nice tight fit.



for some reason I didnt order a voltage gauge, so this is next on my shopping list and the other hole is for the wide band lamba AFR sensor which I will purchase at some point, but they are a little expensive.



the bracket for the fuel presure one will need modifying as I cant see how the pipe goes on with out fouling, but shouldnt be too hard to whip a bit off



that the dash centre almost done appart from the two switches for the hasards and the heated window, just waiting on the wiring diagrams so i can convert to a 2 terminal switch

almost ready for paint

does it matter what the weather is like? It still almost ready for painting

no u muppet not the body work, the dah inserts and the door cards

Not really dont much on the car lately as the snow basically covered her.

But had a phone call from Mr Walker saying Robins (Bininoz) water/meth system is off his car and he had my Head gasket and fuel pump, so off to Macdonalds to meet him.

So one fuel pump



looks so much better and meatier than the walbro one

and one uprated head gasket



they do look very well engineered, but not measured it up against the old one yet.

and one water/meth injection system



So after a bacon roll this morinig I started fitting the Injection system.

To make my life easier, or so I thought I pulled it all apart and started again.

After i stripped off all of the plastic loom protector off and all the tubes I set about mounting the tank and the pump.

After a bit of messing about I desided to mount the tank one side and the pump the other.





Once that was done, I started to remake the loom with the pipe in it.

First was the two wires for the level as they are the longest.

I cut the loom tube under the bottle so the pipe can be threaded though.

I used a set of draw rods as I had them and they do make the job so much easier to do.








then I threaded the rest of the wires and piping through.

The loom will run in the void under the tail gate to run round to the pump. then down the side of the car and crossing over under the seat, where the control unit will be mounted just under the front of the dash.





so once the cables where run in the loom tube, armed with the wiring diagram I started soldering the control unit wires









once that was done it all got taped up and tidied up



the wire for the LED and the arm switch (i will just use an Ingition feed)



I wont solder the two level feeds as will mean I have to cut them if i need to take it out so will just use bullets

Well been a bit busy tonight, but first things first.

A few pics of Jim welding the handle supports into the door filling in the holes where the door pins go.






The doors are getting preped and primered this week end so will get soem pics up of that.

So I got back from Newcastle late tuesday and had a few parcels waiting for me



So armed with all the gauges and a brand new box of mixed terminals plus all the old wiring from the car I set about making up the loom for the gauges





I started by stripping down the power loom for the AFR gauge.

I wont be using the 2 out puts on it, just the power and the Earth.



Out came my trusted ratchet crimps


and i soldered heat shrank the gauge lights, earths and power feed.





I brought a small fuse box so I can run a few things round the dash area, and the gauges are going to be on a switch.
The easiest way I think to run the fuse box is to connect it to the cut off switch.
So I made up a little loom with spades and a ring




and here it is finished.



and the gauge wiring all done



Next thing is to fit this little lot

IS that all you;ve done!! Slacker




Only kidding, Looks good
