Update On My Beast.......finally
« on: October 02, 2006, 08:07:28 PM »
Well I'm nearly there.  All the interior was pulled out after Steves great work so I could connect all the electrics and sound system.  All back together and looking just how Steve did it.

Brakes finished and test run in factory car park.  Nose cone back on.  A/C main circuits and fan, vaccuum heater controls all operational.  Just got to connect/mount the headlights, front blinkers/parkers, horns, secondary A/C circuit, modify power steering filler line, wheel line her and get her engineered.......then look out you lot.

Provided I have no hick ups, fingers crossed, I might make the Darling Harbour show.  ;46

New motor rocker covers on and cruise control servo back in.  Have to tape up some wires, mount the front lower apron, gas the A/C and get her wheel aligned.  I then have to fit my new hi-tension spark plug leads and billet high tension lead holders as well as my side rocker covers below the doors and then call the engineer.

Alas, I'm on site with work all next week so I can't do much more till after hours and next weekend.

Cutting it very close.  Maybe too close.

Keep ya's posted.

Funny Bugger.

Did some more after hours.  Engine rocker covers are on as well as new high tension leads and billet lead holders.  Took her to the service staion and filled her up.

Between the forum, work, club show, and trying to finish this beast.....if I make it to the show I'm going to sleep there all day.

That will teach me to take time off.  LOL!!
