Refitting and Refinishing
sorry again that ive really not documented the work very well, ive really just been getting on with it and forgetting to take photos of things! anyway i got a few shots at the weekend for your delectation.
the steering is complete now, new track rods, center section, refurbished steering box, new steering coupler and all put back together. never knew how much of a puzzle it would be to get it all back together in the correct way.
the wiring for the ignition switch and the stalks was a real nightmare, however i had already started stripping the loom back to remove unwanted things and to identify wires for my new stereo. anywhoo here a picture of the whole! thing all back in and working like a dream
as above, i started stripping out wires and also including some new bits so i could wire in this mechless bluetooth stereo. wasn't too difficult as everything was nicely accessible. have hard wired it in, and will run an amp in the rear so from RCA's which all run underneath the carpets.
powered up!
another addition was the newly painted rocker and manifold. i just went for a stock black VHT paint to tidy things up a bit. the polished oil cap might change.
other jobs we completed at the weekend.
hanging the rear box with nice new hangers and plastic bits.
fitting the manifold and the down pipe at the front.
running heavy duty power cables to the battery for the amp in the rear.
the dash "chrome" bits (Actually just plastic!) i will change these out i think soon, what can i cover them in to make them look more metal-like?!
new job is to fit all new brake lines and the new master cylinder
thanks for reading
