alright charlie!!! where u been hiding!!! its coming on well! as for the splitter..... see below lol!
Ok, this Sundays update
was on it all day, could do any saturday as i was at work BOOO!
first off, a photo of the box looking all shiney and new Shame about all the other bits bolted onto it, i wish i had time to psint them, but it would hold up getting the box on!
YAY!! fitted!
Hopefully, that'll be the last time the box has to come off and go back on again! IF it isn't right this time, then i really am out of ideas!!!!
quick photo mid way of putting it back together hehe
and done! front end/engine all back together! Filled the box up with oil and connected everything back up! nearly ready to go!
as you can see, i think the splitter really really finishes it off. before it just didnt look right at the bottom of the bumper! well chuffed!

Re: UT Restoration, New Thread. UPDATED 07/07/08 GEARBOX BACK ON AND NEARLY READY TO
yeah, i have got time to do it, but i wanted to get the box on with my mate, and he could only do sunday morning. So didnt have chance to do it
Right, was back down at the uno last nite and i checked a few things over, then filled the new tank up with fuel!! Filled it up, no leaks, connected the battery and primed the fuel lines etc, got it up to pressure, no leaks then, when to fire it up, and the battery had ran out! lol! gutted! just not enough juice in it to fire it! DOH!!!
also got my boot on and all the catches on, so the list now looks like this...
1) Bleed Clutch
2) Charge Battery
3) Change Oil & Oil Filter
4) Go Round and check whole car over
So, nearly there! then its MOT time, Rolling Road, then respray. Job Done.....ish

Yeah, i'll upgrade the battery later, but for now i'll just jump start it as the battery isnt knackered. Hoping to get tomorrow off work and get down there, fire it up, get it up to temperature then change the oil/filter and check over the whole car. then its just a case of bleeding the clutch when i can get a mate to give me a hand!

What's lightest battery you could get away with? I'm guessing a standard one represents quite a hefty lump of weight?

Blu, this wont be its first run out lol, it was MOTed last year remember and i did about 400 miles! lol

Excellent work Dunc! Glad to see it's all coming together now, especially after the scare a few months back that you were gonna abort the project and break for parts!
Out of interest, how much did it cost to have the gearbox re-conditioned and who did it? Might need one doing myself!
