Scoobysvx Posted October 10, 2015 Author Share Posted October 10, 2015 Thought it'd be best to tidy up the loom so I began to strip back the old tape, remove any surplus connectors & harnesses and re-tape. Also sprayed the middle part of the fuse box to get rid of the yellow. It proved to be more time consuming than I imagined so I didn't manage to get it finished today.Manifold back on! Turbo fittedWater pipes & oil feed fitted along with the EWG, screamer and down pipeAll being well the loom will be finished tomorrow and engine in! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scoobysvx Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 It's been a good day today, I managed to complete everything I wanted before it got dark.Removed the rusty old brake Union and cleaned it up.Finished the loom too!I removed all the plastic clips so I'll be replacing them with stainless P clipsFuel filter & Union back onUnfortunately the ram on my granddads crane gave way after just 30 years haha. So I had to use a rather sketchy way with a trolley jack to get it into the air high enough to get the engine underReally pleased it's back in, I'm hoping it should all start coming together quickly now that's in place. I'll keep you updated 😆 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scoobysvx Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 Small amount of updates this weekend... Connected most of the loom up but yet to tidy it all up and clip it in place.Got the rad fitted along with the intercooler Maximum air flow to the air filter 😂I got the air filter mounted properly, fitted the intercooler pipes looses for now as I'll be replacing the blue joiners for black one... Also wouldn't mind black rad hoses instead of purple if anyone fancies a swap?Really looking forward to seeing the finished product now! I got various other bits and bobs fitted too like the washer bottle, diagnostic port mounted, bonnet latch and all important reservoir sock 😂Placed the front bumper on too before it goes off for painting this week. It's the first time I've seen it on, unfortunately everything else wasn't it place! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
