dazzlers82 Posted March 11, 2008 Posted March 11, 2008 had a quick look today si i quite like the colour to be honest nice skyline up there as well now thats a bit of me
Jolly Green Monster Posted March 13, 2008 Author Posted March 13, 2008 (edited) that skyline is damn gorgeous and running close to 700bhp on a PowerFC.. had fun mapping that one.. unfortunatly some lorry drive took to the side of it with a bat for no reason the other evening.. no major damage but owner not pleased spent about an hour on it today.. apparently some scrouts were taking a bit of interest in the wagon so I ripped out anything of value.. stereo, gauges, ecu etc and brought them home.. I then removed the front seats and fitted them to the new car.. http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yt5pgl&...&quality=70 http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yt5pgm&...&quality=70 and cleared out more stuff.. I then straightened the fmic brackets that were bent in the accident and trial fitted it but then removed for cleaning out later as it is off.. for some reason pictures not come out.. I also attacked the front cross member for clearance on my intercooler pipes.. I was considering cutting under each headlight to pass the pipes through and fitting the intercooler upside down but decided that can wait.. I would rather get the car up and running and do that at a later date. I then trial fitted bumper and plonked the grill on just to see how it looks http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yt5pgo&...&quality=70 Car is much more appealing to work on now as I can sit in it and it looks less of a shell etc Not sure how much I will get done tomorrow but was hoping to get the engine in.

Jolly Green Monster Posted March 14, 2008 Author Posted March 14, 2008 I'll just unstitch it then the drivers one is fairly worn on the base as I have driven a lot of miles in it.. Simon
dazzlers82 Posted March 14, 2008 Posted March 14, 2008 you could bolt a milk crate in that would be lighter dont think it will be very safe though

Jolly Green Monster Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Some progress at last! was mapping from where the cars are today so managed to get a little bit done.. fuel pump is fitted from other car... one comical moment.. I thought I best check the tank in the new car as it had been left open... look in and see something but looks like gunge but not able to see clearly.. so put my hand in and touch it expecting slimey residue from dirt in tank fuel residue etc and it feels like a bit of material.. so I pull it out.. look in my hand and I am holding a dead mouse.. lol.. pickled Yorkshire Mouse anyone? typical yorkshireman mouse.. drinks like a fish.. then with the heavy rain I was not able to do much.. did a couple of jobs under the bonnet.. like fixing washer bottle, fixing ignitor etc.. sprayed some paint on a couple of bits that had no paint.. removed the wood effect bits off the dash that weren't to my taste.. fitted the intercooler and checked bumper fit and I don't think it needs any extra cutting.. looks hacked enough by previous hybrid install.. lol I then fitted the new gearbox mount to the box.. at about 3 it stopped raining.. so I dashed for the engine crane and swapped the engine over.. nearly forgot to fit the new engine mounts and had to lift it back out again.. lol Radiator in and a few connectors etc plugged in.. glad to get some progress but still way behind where I wanted to be. Pics to follow Simon
eurosti Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Good progress Simon cant wait to see the end result!
Jolly Green Monster Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 pics in here http://www.jollygreenmonster.fotopic.net/c1468054_37.html Simon
Jolly Green Monster Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 yes.. want to get the car running asap, else my interest will lapse.. I can then sort new intercooler pipework and a few jobs outstanding on the setup.. but reversed inlet is staying.. I have a spare which I might get reversed or altered as an alternative.. but I see no reason to go back to normal one Simon
