Grin

[POPEYE]

Woo Hoo "IT LIVES"!!!!!! went out just to remove the battery charger last night about 9.30 and thought id give it a go, cranked over about 5 seconds and cough'd to life, i let it run about five minuits and all seems ok, a little top end'y but guessing it dry, got to run her up today and check all the fluids, and out for a run round (gently), cant wait to see if the mods have made a difference, it's going to feel like the first time i drove it, been off the road for about five months got me grin back!!!

DIRT! DIRT!! perish the thought Think i had a doubt'er who thought i'd never get it going, wont mention any names but his initials start with
MARKY!!!! (must admit i had me doubts too, cheers mate)
Well she had a good run round and the usual "can you run me to the shops"cr@p, must say i'm well impressed with me efforts, it's much more responsive, a dam sight quicker off the mark and has settled down to a nice tickover,the cooling fan mods working a treat, they come on three minuits after i parked up a couple of times (ign off) so it shows how the heat builds up after you've switched off, they soon get the temp down tho, the intercooler's picking up heat as i expected it would but i aint got the fan finished so that should improve, (had a dodgy 5 pin relay) there's a smell of bakeing paint but that should wear off, all n all i'm well chuffed
So the mods were-
1. intercooler
2. 2" body lift
3. junk the EGR stuff
4. 2mm washers behind the dump gate
5 extra cooling fan and wireing mod
6 loads of anti friction hammerite
I got to get the tyres put back on the rims, got two ready, if ya remember i reversed the spider so they have deeper dish, just hope they clear the body etc on the front,

Ian, Marky excuse me for butting in on your little love in.

Top job Ian, I think it looks great, youve got my respect and admiration. I wish I had the skills, the tools, the energy and ethusiasm, I wish I could simply be arsed to do half of what youve done. Youve got yourself a headturner now.
