Some of the wires I have left in the engine bay!



And some of my wheel fitment as I don't think I have posted any yet.
Front camber :D


Rear!

Please ignore the arch gap :p

Rims look smart mate. I think if you're stuck with those wires the legend that is Rubjonny should be able to help you locate where they go  :thumbs:  :thumbs:

Final made some progress!
Got the old girl out of the garage today to star work on the interior loom!

Got the dash out and the old loom, began fitting the new loom.

Mum's not afraid to get stuck in!

Dash back in :D

Everything is back in the interior now. Once I get paid I will start looking to get a carb.

Haha flying through!? It's taken me quite a while to do the wiring I suck at it! However I cracked on with the interior which was easy but it's the engine that I have been struggling with. But oh well I will get there.

Nothing very special this time but I swapped the windscreen wiper motor plug over.

And I also took a picture of mt rear engine mount and wishbone just to show how low they are to the ground :P

So I was really happy the other day, got all the parts ordered though things were finally moving along. Carb turnes up today

Fixings on the carb

Inlet fixings

F**k sake. This isn't going to fit!!

Anyone got any ideas. I'm getting desperate now. I need this done!

It's so surreal looking at your pictures!

Mine looked exactly like that for ages and it reminds me of how far my Oreo has come.

Hopefully you'll be able to look back, like me, and feel well chuffed!

Right so this carb issue is annoying me so I have managed to solve the problem for the moment.
Old manifold off original engine.

Chop these bits off

And it fits right on

Oh and this is what was pumping my fuel on the old lump.

Sad to hear mate after the work you put into it, saw it on eBay. Good luck with the sale though
