| Cheers dude, when it sat there ticking over i almost felt a tear in my eye... then realised it was dirt well, bucket finally let me on... so ecu and stuff mounted....  Not the greatest install, but i didn't want to get too fussy over it ( cos im too lazy  ) ... Then again i may take it all out next winter ( if it all stays together that long) and do a clean install, painted engine bay and all.. _________________  |

| Bays coming on well there rolf, look forward to a look round it when its up and running, saw the vauxhall up at wills place the other week, cool looking car that, did you get the v8 as well?, saw one of these down in cornwall a couple of years back, another project thread to follow? |

| cheers Azzeer...the bay was never suppose to be the project  the cab is the project but things just got out of hand.....avoid vodka !!!.... Dude, i spent too many years wanting things that i couldnt do but couldnt afford to have done ( properly  )... so just though f*** it bought a welder and dived in..... Curtis, the missus saw pics of the victor and just said buy it,i want it as a daily ...so no v8...just low and hotrod/chiccano lowrider Ive got a 1.8 pinto and a sierra box on the way.... but things may change now as she's already changed her mind  ........ ....how much do cossie lumps go for  _________________  |

| ..So i braved the weather today...  So after spending ages working out how i was going to run my rad mount ( which was always bugging me) i came across what i originally wanted to do ( and was told it wouldn't work) on an australian web site.. the guy has been running his set up for the last couple of years without any trouble. So last sundays heater set up which consisted of cutting up a mk1 golf matrix was a waste of time.... oh well i'll change it again and it can go in the back Got the grinder out... ...cut out the fresh air box which wasnt being used  Rads new home....which will be plywood boxed..   So now it's basically a T2.25  _________________  |
