Rework So Far

[Mando]

Thanks guys,

Zedn, your going to love this. The braid is woven onto the loom by a guy in Melbourne. It's tight on the wiring and the open ends are finished like the ends of a pair of socks so they won't fray. You can have the fleck in most colours or not at all. You send the guy a picture of the loom laid out as you want it, when he gets it he unravels it and weaves the casing so it follows your layout. I was going to do the whole loom but my auto electrician talked me out of it. When the looms for the coils arrived and he saw what it looked like, he wanted to pull the loom out of the whole car to get it covered but by that stage the loom was bound really nicely and installed and I just couldn't do it. It looks so 60's it's incredible.

Dimis, I don't have the talent but I've certainly got the time!

Davew/gjkrv8, I didn't know what I was doing so the cooling system I built wasn't up to scratch and had lots of airlocks plus I also left the cap of the overflow tank half locked and the coolant turned to steam and covered absolutely everything you can imagine except the paintwork. It took 4 months to clean the mess. When it happened I was actually really happy because it gave me the chance to fix things I wasn't happy with. Some of these have been,
-installing a bung at the bottom of the radiator to drain the water.
-installing a new dipstick. [it's my favorite part on the whole car].
-new rocker covers.
-changing all the red/blue fittings to silver/black. [you can see in one of the pictures the one and only blue fitting I didn't remove on the car. It was just to much work].
-teflon hoses for all the fuel lines.
-ceramic coat the headers from silver to black.
-removed at least half of the braided lines and fittings I had that weren't necessary.
-installed these nifty little air bleed vales at the top of my water lines.
When my motor was stripped it basically needed LOTS of "stuff". It was pulled down to nothing and rebuilt. I remember the cam was blue and the engine builder said it shouldn't be that colour. The engine builder is planning to install the new motor within the next 2 weeks.

Regards.
