Hey guys
Last week I pulled down the fuel tank and took it to NatRad in Narellan to get it pressure tested, get a bigger return line put on and cleaned up. Also took the aluminium radiator for them to make up a shroud and put in a high flow thermo fan.
Recieved a call from Ken and was advised that after cleaning the fuel tank there were large rust holes that came up and it needed to be repaired. He said they will need to cut it out and repair it so should be ready to pick up on Wednesday. I'll put up more pictures when I get it back.
Also pulled out the dash and was shocked at the state of the wiring. Looks like every one who owned the car had their two cents put in lol. Going to strip all the wires, take out the guages and get them reconditioned at AtSpeed in St Marys. I have dealt with Ben before with a few of my other past projects and he does a decent job. Also going to get the bulbs changed to brighten up the cluster. Also will get the clock fixed too.
Once the body is all done and when it's time to get the engine wired up I will get my electrician to clean up all the wiring mess.
Regarding my manual conversion I have found that I might not need to cut out any metal from the bell housing. I noticed that there is a plate that has a few spot welds on it to remove. When I looked from underneath it seemed to be a factory plate to invert on the Auto shells, please correct me if I'm wrong.
So to infinity and beyond
