Excellent work don't forget the underseal Damn right! The sills have been waxoiled and once the welding on the chassis legs at the rear has been done its getting treated too! Dont want to go thru this again for at leat another 15 years! |

Well it went out for a spin on Sunday, oh boy how nice was it to drive. The brand new secondhand motor was sweet as a nut. No smoke, knocks nothing! I know its still early days but the first trip out was good!
Two problems however. Fault 93 (or was it 94?) - Camshaft Position sensor Highvoltage. Only when at about 4500rpm.
Had to test the dual ram didnt I? It flashed briefly then went.
Any ideas?
The other fault is the fuel computer/clock doofa. It lights up with the dash lights but there is no info or clock on it. Anyone else had this problem? Fuse?
It was too dark to look at fuses and I didnt have a torch and I thought the zippo was a bad idea for a source of light....
MOT next week....

All sorted - apart from the leccy ariel. I had a short in the towing electrics which kept blowing the fuse. Fault code gone - recentered the dizzy.    Sorry its dark. |

Not too bad.
Took me longer to find the panel then to weld it.
I think i found the right one from Star Panels in tinternet! Phoned them up and described it. Spoke to a fab lady who sorted it.
The tricky bit is not to get too hot and warp the panel your welding too.
I also bought another arch as the panel needs the arch to welded to it. I cut the dog leg off the front of the arch and used the rest
to rebuild it.
The chassis legs under the bonnet are a pain. Needed to take loads out to get to them but its all done now.
The sils are just sils...but I have had enough of welding for a while.

Brilliant looking car, what is the colour? Some pictures look red, others look like a very nice burnt orange, don't usually like orange cars but if this one is then it looks absolutely fantastic... (Actually it looks fantastic whatever colour it is...) |
