Doogs Posted December 20, 2010 Report Posted December 20, 2010 Good work man, new motor will be great. Cross fingers the boys in blue don't get you. Quote
bAKER Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 Haven't been doing much lately being Christmas and new years etc. Thought I'd have done alot more at this point but I've been busy doing random stuff. Small Update: Cleaned her up a bit. Quads are painted and put on. Wiring going to be done when I wire the engine up. The parts are being gathered for making linkages for the carbs. I've decided on an Excel rad, with thermo fans. I'm going to have a steel pipe with right angle joins for extra cooling. :cool: Which I have ready. Unless I find an ae86 rad. I'm going to be relocating the Coil to the other side of the bay also. Generic fuel pump under the tank, with a knock switch in the engine bay if I crash, also to be used as a kill switch. I have the Super H4 globes in the outside headlights and the stock sealed beams in the centre. Side 2 for low beam, all 4 for high beam. Bought the bars from Hendos panno, only to find out that the brackets are completely different... :bash: I was under the impression it was a straight swap? I guess it must only be the Wagon bumpers that swap. Shes starting to collect dust :( Cheers. Quote
bAKER Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Update: Linkages made! Much easier than I had expected, Used the arm from the 4k carby. New week the clutch and Radiator go in, and hopefully a start up. :dance: Edited January 12, 2011 by bAKER Quote
bAKER Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 Update: She's getting closer! Hopefully have her ready for next weekend :yes: Ordered some bumpers from Malaysia, they won't be here in time for the trip :sob: Gear stick in, sit a bit funny need to test it first. Dad sorted out the distributor, with an ignition module from a range rover. Really good spark. Tomorrow: Radiator pipes on. Clutch line in. Tail shaft in. Headlights wired. START? Quote
Evan G Posted January 21, 2011 Report Posted January 21, 2011 hurrryyyy up already!?!?! :P you should be with ease tomorrow. i shotgun a ride in this :D Quote
bAKER Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Posted January 21, 2011 hurrryyyy up already!?!?! :P you should be with ease tomorrow. i shotgun a ride in this :D I'm trying... Searching for parts is so time consuming -sigh Just remembered I need an air filter. :bash: Need a pair of sandwiches. Quote
bAKER Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Posted January 22, 2011 Update: TOday was a lot of fiddling... Tried cleaning up the looms etc. so they weren't rubbing on the extractors. Only to find out the Distributor stopped working. Pulled EVERYTHING apart and finally figured out after 4 hours that the igniter wasn't earthed properly. - sigh. Tail shaft in, added some spacers for a long straight shaft. mmm Radiator in also. To do tomorrow: Radiator pipes Fuel pump to be wired Heater pipes which I completely forgot about... And speedo cable. Quote

bAKER Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Posted January 25, 2011 so how did go with the list close to starting it up yet? Yea, getting there. Lot's of distractions :bash: Only managed to get the fuel pump and the new speedo cable in today. Since I have work at 530 everyday except mondays I can't stay and work on it longer...\ Hopefully Dad gets the heater pipes in while I'm at work! Things left to do: Heater pipes. Radiator pipes Reverse Light Switch (might do this after the GOR trip depending on time). AIR FILTER. Forgot about this one. Tuning!!! Quote
