thanks guys, and yes even I'll en devour to make some more video!

managed to get the 4 x O2 sensors installed and wired in, so once i fill it with water, i can start it, will probably wait until Saturday so i  can roll it outside, finishing off the door rubbers at the moment, then I'll probably mount the toolbox in the boot

Good times!

So no pictures this time, just a quick report,


THE ENGINE LIVES!!

Fired up pretty much first go, and after mucking around with the idle jets etc, it purred away like nothing ever happend

A few electrical gremlins with the data logging stuff, but mostly sorted now, all 4 O2 sensors appear to be working well (which makes tuning the idle mixtures pretty easy!) unfortunately 1 of the EGT probes is playing up, but have ordered a new one.

The Arduino Controlled electric water pump I've used appears to be working very well, the car will idle indefinitely without the thermo fan coming on. and with the mechanical pump out of the way, I've managed to fit a really big electric fan in.  Looks like the welding around the old water pump is sealing no problem also.  Everything appears to clear around the engine, exhaust, steering rack, intake ect.  Got a small fuel leak around the pump fittings (Stupid American NPT fittings), and a small water leak around a plug I welded up for the old heater outlet (Some porosity in the metal), so I'll sort that out this week.  Rest of the panels went over on the weekend, so should be back soon and then the final parts to the build will be in

then i can finally drive it!!
