Homer Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Maybe a video of the first startup? A phoenix from the ashes Oh yes, I'll be recording it all on video (especially if on the off chance something goes wrong ) Homer thank you for this great read i have been a little down hearted with my restoration project atm. I'm now inspired to press on. good luck hope it all comes together for you. No worries mate, I'm finding a lot of patience and not-to-high expectations are essential to car projects! Best of luck with your one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 23, 2008 Author Share Posted August 23, 2008 Forgot to mention the extra costs for the fluids, was shocked how much it came to. PAS (4L ATF): £31.96 5.1 Brake fluid (2L): £21.98 5.1 Clutch fluid (0.5L): £5.50 Coolant: (10L): £13.98 Trans fluid: £20.77 Diff oil (1L): £10.99 Thats over £90 total. Thank god the engine oil didn't need doing as it'd have ended up over £120 with the filter. Still need to service the car so thats about £180 of costs I didn't account for (which is more than the cost of the engine!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 Just spotted, the oil lights and ECU light doesn't seem to be on, while others are ECU wasn't connected at that point which explains the lack of error lights and the speedo reading. All the error reading lights don't work, but those not connected to the ECU are (apart from the ABS light, which has it's own ECU and curcuit). My last car did the same with the ECU out. Time will tell if my theory on the ECU is correct.. bring on Saturday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe, we will have to see, if all the circumstances fall into place then yes but i won't say any more than that, and yes might just be persuaded to throw something together, maybe i'll even tub it out and build something really quick, i've always wanted a really really quick car, it wouldnt be streetable but should be able to make it street legal, just need some nut to drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
