so i got the new secondary water pump fitted :)



then i modified my de-badged grille to improve airflow to the induction :)



then my mate came over and rewired the car to ce2 for me, the only part missing is a later ignition barrel so we couldn't start it! but he did manage to get the fuel pump to prime and get the starter motor kicking over, and she turned over freely which i was worried about as the engine has sat there for a year without being started :)

this short video of her turning over on the starter motor made me so happy aha



he will be back next thursday with the ignition barrel and we will hopefully fire her into life! :D

then got on with sorting the filler work out, then gave a good coat of stone chip paint and rattle canned black for now :)
