Filled the back of the windscreen and painted it (still not perfect but OK), resprayed the driver side pod cover and fitted the ECU bracket, tidied up all of the engine bay wires. Gave the car a good clean and drove it up the road. Filled in the SVA forms and sent them off.
Well, finally got the injection inlet manifold sorted. Took the plunge and purchased a low level system from Trust Electricals (YKC) which sealed OK onto the head but again had manufacture issues with the injection Bar. A second manifold should be here on Tuesday (8/6/04) to finally put that to bed, four inlet manifolds later. In the process I have had to have a new alternator bracket made up and an idle valve connector also made up at work to fit the new manifold. Other jobs completed during the first half of the year include fitting the inner front arches, fitting blanking plates to the gearbox to keep the stones out and making up various brackets including one to keep the ecu in place. List to do is - fill the back of the screen frame, make up some panels for under the dash, fit the dash, sort out the tacho (still), paint up the under bonnet, make up a heat shield for the exhaust (not essential), finish off the carpets and tunnel cover. Finally get the car MOT'd, insured, SVA'd and registered. I have two days off next week to crack the back of it.
