Its just a cheapie off Ebay, should have bought the round one - this one has 7 holes in it for inlet/ outlet options plus a cheap and nasty looking sight glass arrangement so the chance of a leak are fairly high .....

Right, where were we ???
Bolted bracket in and riveted, welded and ground it up

But before I did that I thought it would be nice to have a bit of luxury so I ran a 2 core cable to the interior light so I can put a door switch in and have an automatic interior light switcher onner and offer like them fancy 225’s have

Step 1 remove interior light

Step 2 remove interior shiny bit and make a nice big hole to work in


Step 3 join 2 core wire to original wire


Step 4 pull it through and try not to break it so you end up with no light at all ……


Much success !!!!!!!

Just a thought, while you have the B-pillar open splice off a line from the earth lead. Drill a hole in the B-pillar and put in another door switch, activated by the back door.

Then both the front and back doors turn the dome light on... just like an EK Premier prototype.

Luxury! Are you installing a new headlining to match the funky rear parcel shelf?

Oh God no - the fluffy headliner was the first thing we did to this thing - the original was torn and hanging down so we just glued this stuff to it to make it a bit less of a yellow sticker magnet, WA cops love stickering cars for saggy headliners for some reason ....... and new headliners mean both screens out which is no fun at all

Captains log, stardate 2247 or whatever they say
Tidied up some of the welds after seeing them in the pics on here , also thought better about the rivets holding the plates so I drilled them out to 5/16” and plug welded them , then did the other side




Rough enough

I have ordered a new boost gauge and injectors, once they arrive and are installed i can book a day at the dyno

Not much done tonight, Valentine’s Day and all , got the interior light wiring done and the carpet back in


Paint came up mint - totally seamless blending job



Underfelt and carpet back in



Time for a rum

Our computers at work wouldn't let me play that because it was "offensive"

I had to wait until I got home to see what filth you had posted

Bit more progress, last of the wires are in , now need to make a cover to hold the mass of spaghetti up under the glovebox.
New AFR and boost gauges installed, these holes were already in the dash and I wasn’t happy with the dodgy under dash setup


Moved the radio out of the glovebox, it will end up in the console


Carpet in, scuff plates in, reglued all the door seals that were hanging off
