i dont really like rostys so they will be up for grabs (i have 5) once i find replacement rims. im thinking BBS 3piece if i can get some. >>> www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/wheels-tyres/alloy-wheels/auction-385589929.htmor dark (charcoal/gunmetal) wide steelys like VW jetta rims with chrome center caps but first i need her legal. i have discovered a fair bit of surface rust and some that ill need to weld up (very corner of the battery area as usual) so once its running its getting attacked with wire brush. and when i swap engines ill weld up the engine bay and smooth it off. good news is (fingers crossed) once i get a new condenser tomorrow she should be a runner. i got a new coil as well, the old one was a bit weak for my liking. - exhaust needs to be put on, its a straight though home jobby with 2 cobys. hopefully not too loud the cert laws are nuts now. - the clutch isnt hooked up, nether is the choke but the cable looks fvckd so ill just pull it out. - oh and the engines only siting in, he must of lost the mount nuts lol.

had some time after work today. found the dizzy shaft was bent so i chucked in the one off my spare engine. got it running, put the exhaust on and timed it up properly. dodgeyd up the clutch cable and got it driving/skidding in the wet ^__^ need to sort the indicators out tonight and head down to hampton tomorrow for an autocross. D-plate ftw

change the pressure switch & or tighten it up. might just be leaking
wiring might just be dodgy too

would the leak from the dizzy cause it.. it comes on after a minute or 2 then i switch it off start it again straight away and same thing. thrashing it doesnt bring it on straight away, reving it up a bit doesnt switch it off... im a sparky not a mechanic i dont know nuts about this sort of stuff
@tim i will blow the nuts out of it once i get the conversion ready to go in
