Hi all, I have been playing with the car over the holidays and I have been running it in. I have made a new dash and sorted the wiring out at the back of it. Also got the new water pump in and the rad mounted, the cooling is well better now. I have been looking at getting an odyssey 25 battery so I went and got one and mounted it on the back seat. So far it it has run the Kenlowe fan, fuel pump, water pump, and the windscreen ok. As I was at it I have swapped a lot of the bolts to alloy ones where I can, every litte bit helps, I will let the pics do the chatting.
