Love this sorta shizzle... Ace work! However, if you plan to drop this lump in the mk1, aren't you going to have to do it all again!?... I know it's probably a little way off but........

Lol

yeah

but thats not going to be until at least the end of next year so I have to get this running well in the mean time.

Then I get to do it all over again

Yeah I did think after I posted that you want this sorted in the mean time, just mad the amount of double effort though. Respect.

Cheers, should have done it right in the first place! Try and make it as reliable as possible. Hopefully another busy day

Well haven't done to much on this as been getting side tracked having to work on my work van which is still playing up

Also been sorting bits for a future project.

Welded the boss in the downpipe for the afr

Fitted it back on the car and fitted a lambda sensor for the afr, pulled all the wires through just need to fit gauge in the car.

Pipe work all finished welded little bits of metal on the end of each pipe instead of beading to stop any popping off. Water tested as well to make sure there were no leaks.

On the car

Inlet mani all fitted with pipe now connected need to find somewhere to fit the catch can now as it came off the old inlet before. Also want to try and tidy up the vac hoses so orderd some more and will try and hide them a bit better

Just need to replace the fuel filter then its ready to start her up again and make sure it all works

And fitted these looks much better I think

Needs a bit of a polish to get rid of my grubby hand marks!

Am happy with it tho, slowly getting there just need to stop buying stuff and get it mapped!

Did a few bits today, started on moving the battery to the boot and setting the terminals in the bay.

I got a battery power cable from a bmw and fed it through a grommet so it came out by the ecu so I can then feed it down with all the other cables to keep it hidden.

Once the plastic casing goes back on it will be hidden

Used a couple of distribution boards for the terminals decided to keep the fuse box and screwed it all to the battery tray.

Earth terminal to the right, positive to the left, will make a cover to go over the lot.

Next hide the wire through the interior to the boot fit the battery and make a good earth. Shoulf free up some space in the bay.
