Rob H@RCH Engineering

The stuff I use I get from work its Volvo stuff its very good but takes ages to dry out properly but it stays greasy it does not go hard at all so it does not come off!

Cheers mate it was nice talking to you too! Well I got some more done today got some paint on and the wax oil in the wheel arches. That should help keep it rust free! I also got cracked on with relocating the battery to the boot, I have had the box ages now so I thought I best get on with it! I made all new earth leads to go around the engine bay too as I have used 2 core wire for the relocation it made sense to change them wile I was doing it all. The ones on the right are the earth and the ones on the bobbing are the poss. The cables into the boot I will take some picks of them under the car but I forgot today. The box! Mega fuse on the side to be safe! Just needs to be fastened down now!

You can use the same key if you use the ep82 ecu as they dont have a coded key like the uk cars, the wiring is not that hard to do its only a case of swapping some wires in the ecu plugs and swapping some plugs over I have the wiring diagrams for doing it we did when I did mine years ago, but you will still need a ep82 loom and ecu for the engine.

you need to change the wiring harnesses and the ecu too, you can convert the wring harness from the n\a to work too but it takes a bit of doing but you will still need the ecu, if you modified the harness to fit its easier to use a ep82 ecu as there a 2 plug like the n\a loom.

I was driving a 1965 land rover from about 11 then it was my first car from passing my test and I still have it now!

I'm all paid up!! Me and Kat will be there!

Cheers mate! Its a good job I have because I found some more rot today!! so thats been taken care of now! I came across this in the n/s/r corner at the back of the wheel its been getting a bit of a battering from the muck from the wheel for quite some time! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps4ff0d256.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps1f9676c1.jpg.html'> Another cardboard template http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsa7a739ce.jpg.html'> Then cut out in steel I formed it to go round the raised shaped bit http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps5b8766c7.jpg.html'> Weld through coating on gives a bit more protection http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps5cc9a128.jpg.html'> Ready for welding on. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsb3673d08.jpg.html'> I did get it welded and painted but forgot to take picks!! I hope this is the last of the welding! 15 years as a daily driver has started to take its toll on the old girl now so plenty of cleaning off the rust, painting and wax oiling is going on!

Well I have the ramp to my self for a week so I thought I would give it a good tidying up underneath! I had not been going long when I found some suspicious bubbles in the paint on the drivers side sill. I then proceeded to scrape them off only to fined the was not a lot left at the back of the paint! So this is what I have been up to today!! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsd20f6d28.jpg.html'> A bit more prodding and it turned into this! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps620f7836.jpg.html'> so I then cut it all out! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps55214af9.jpg.html'> then cut this out from a card template http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps48cab4d4.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps41eda013.jpg.html'> Welded in place http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps08dd9e3d.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpscc602afa.jpg.html'> Next to plate up the top, cut this bit to go inside. http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpscc602afa.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsea2a868b.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsee9629f8.jpg.html'> All welded up! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps4e1bd470.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zps9446eee8.jpg.html'> Then it was all rust cured ready for the paint in the morning!! The other side is still as good as new so im not too sure what exactly made this side go like it has apart from there been a bit of water in there.

It was all a bit much for Rob B but Matt and John managed to stop him going over the edge!! He was put in a nice white suit with straps till he calmed down! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/084_zps35216070.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/083_zpsf7067145.jpg.html'> Some of the starlets on track http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/081_zpsda242508.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/074_zps9368dde4.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/073_zpsb29bbeb0.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/071_zpsaf8ad650.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/065_zpsf2eb9919.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/055_zps79dc44d2.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/036_zpsc219d0cb.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/032_zps8df6fff5.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/030_zps6a07e23d.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/035_zps4a48d7e8.jpg.html'> Then the Nissans showing how important it is to have AA cover http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/020_zpsd1bd2810.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/019_zpsb33168d0.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/017_zpsec15b84f.jpg.html'> http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/Japfest%201%202013/015_zps4a48b7f8.jpg.html'>

congrats mate!!! carnt wait to see it again!!

I haven't washed it yet mate but the lass next did think the same! It's all autobrite stuff I use from Autocleanz with a topping of dodo juice purple haze I only polish it every other wash!

yep my dads place is a bit of a car builders paradise!! were not short of anything over there!! Cheers for the comments lads!

Well 12 years after I fitted them I have removed the tints from the windows, I removed the fronts years ago because the feds kept stopping me for them been too dark so its looked like a van ever since! I had forgotten how much of a t**t the sticky was to get off but with the help of the autobrite glue and tar remover it wasn't all that bad! http://s87.photobucket.com/user/turbosr_2006/media/toylet/null_zpsfb0446f0.jpg.html'> I all so fitted my adjustable rear panhard rod and sorted out some other gremlins in prep for japfest!

Thats been for sale some time now I carnt think why lol

Ok more pleasing to the eye then lol and those door cards look the nuts!

looking good mate!!! I would wrap them in cloth it would help cut down the resonation a bit.

Send john a ECC on TGTT he normally has them in stock I got mine from them top service BUT can be a bit slow on pm's so you could phone them. As for the hasting rings we have used them in many engines over the years V8s and all sorts and have always been spot on but not in a starbo yet!

I thought I saw a smile I thought I saw a smile I did I did see a smile!!!!!!!!! nice one Rob!!!

Good luck mate got my fingers and toes crossed for ya!!

Good man!!! you will soon be boosting!!!

Is there a way to get the sheet in a word doc or anything???? I want to move the headings about and stuff to make more room but it wont let me do anything with it??

Cheers mate!
