FFR Coupe 65 in Sydney

[SydneyChris]

After several months of clutch, bell housing, master cylinder and CSS preload issues I am picking up where I left off in Jan... (2015..!!).

Engine and gearbox back in, new gearbox mount fabricated, moving the holes 15mm forward to stop the lower half of the bracket hitting the back of the gearbox casing (cudos to the 'professional' I commissioned to set these things up correctly, this was the last thing he touched and the last one requiring rework to make it actually correct..!).

Fitted an e-stopp park brake controller this evening, welded a small bracket to the transmission tunnel with the cables due in the next day or so.. .

Need to figure out why I was modifying the AC duct a few months back..! then run the electrical looms and refit the dash panels.

Cheers

Had a decent day with sorting the electrical issues created by the overwhelming ignorance, incompetence and complete apathy of a northern Sydney Kobra builder.. not only was there a number of wiring faults, that he specifically introduced into a clean harness, the ancillaries were incorrect for the motor type, the tune provided was from a mafless 6L motor (L98), rather than an LS3 with a MAF as the factory runs, the majority of the fault codes were being generated because one of the plugs for the ECU was wired and then installed backwards.. !

Yes .. it is staggering.. well its staggering if you knew how everything he touched he did a half baked, inaccurate, incomplete and totally flawed job on everything he touched.
Fingers crossed this is the last in a fairly comprehensive list of stuff up he created.

Looking forward to getting the fuel pumps rewired to a higher ampere breaker tomorrow and see if it will hold fuel pressure and run.

Cheers
