just read every word of this thread,watched all vids and loved every minute,a shame youve lost interest after all the work youve done.
cant beleive how patient you are,then again you have a daily,my wags my only car n its been in the shop for 3 weeks grrrr.
this shud be a sticky on how to save time and put an L in properly....good work.
Cheers mate.
Biggest issue is I dont have room for it at home so its living 40km away under a very expensive (quality) car cover until I have space and time to finish it or I can sell it for an amount im happy to part with it for.
I check on it whenever Im there and keep forgetting stuff that needs doing so this post is a future YOU NEED TO DO THIS SIMON reminder.
1. Buy a new battery, the old one is completely fkd from constant jump starts DONE
2. Fix the ignition. Get the old one off the steering coloumn and bolt the new one on DONE
3. Fix the wiring. You pulled it apart trying to diagnose the ignition fault. Especially the tacho
4. Fix the roof lining. Glue it up permanently or something
5. Fix the reverse sensor so the reverse lights work.
6. Rebuild the carb with the carb kit you bought, pay attention to the accelerator pump its shagged
7. Check the oil and stuff its been sitting for like 2 years now you lazy idiot.
8. Fix the heater controls, its all bolted in its just not running. Wiring?
9. Pull the dash cluster back out and fix the LEDs you put in there only half working
10. Put air in the tyres.
Probably forgetting some stuff but that will help later.
