Hi All, I'm struggling to get my hands on two wiring harness that will fit my 6 pin plug as pictured. I currently only have one harness with a square 4 pin plug that doesn't fit. So I'm going to have a crack modifying the one I have to fit and make another one. Would any one be able to send me some detailed photos of theirs that I could use as a guide? Thanks Julian

The next job was to go refurb/ replace the front brakes. These probably hadn't been been used for the last 20 years. They were ceased and the brake fluid channels were blocked solid. The only for me was to split the brake caliper. Cleaned, sprayed, new seals etc looking through my photos, I don't have one of them installed in the car

Good Evening all, I am chasing I'm in the process of getting my engine installed and noticed that my fuel line was damaged in a couple of sections as it comes into the engine bay. Does anyone have a spare fuel line that they are willing to part ways with? I would prefer not to make too make too many joints in the line if possible. Located in Vic and can pick up. Thanks Julian

Then we worked on refurbing the rear brakes From this.. To this..
-
The colour of the shocks are very close to the exterior paint (the only reason why I didn't go Koni reds ).

It has been a while since I have updated this thread. Since August I have made good progress to to try and meet my goal of having her on the road by Christmas. There was a massive delay on getting some key parts from america due to some very ordinary customer service. One of the jobs we tackled was to install the new shocks (Koni Yellows) and king springs. These coil spring clamps worked a treat. The install went relatively smoothly.

Thanks . I will give him a call tomorrow.
-
yes it is... Hoping to be on the road before Christmas

Thanks. I just checked the ebay store. They don't seem to have any left in stock. You must have purchased the last one.

Hi All, Does anyone have a crankcase breather tube for a L28 that they are willing to part ways with? I'm located in Vic and can pick up. Thanks in advance Julian

Over the last month we have made some more progress. Most notably passenger door, fenders and interior. Its was so excited seeing the door and the fenders on the car.

Thanks Jonny! Came out great!

Good evening all, I am wanting to buy a driver's side door locking mechanism in good condition. Thanks Julian
-
I used heavy duty automotive headliner adhesive from Autobarn
-
The drivers side pillar vinyl was stuck directly into the bodywork. This same process was used to complete the front and the passenger side roof vinyl. I was super stoked with the results... over the next couple of days, my dad wasn't happy with a couple of fine creases and managed to work them out. SO the finish was even better. The last photo probably doesn't do it justice. I will try get a better one in the coming days in better light
-
For the next step we put a bit of adhesive on the top of the vinyl, then locked it in with a pvc pinchweld. Adhesive was then added body work under the foam (we didn't put any on the foam so we can work any kinks out at a later stage) and the last 20mm of the vinyl. The vinyl was folded over the pinch weld and stuck to the body work. The door seal will also help lock it all in.
-
We sprayed the adhesive on on the foam and the roof. We made sure not to spray all they way to the edge of the roof (see cardboard in first pic) and the foam. This was very important to achieve the result that we did. If the adhesive went all the way we wouldn't have been able to tuck the vinyl & foam in (see third pic).
-
We have also tackled the roof and front pillar vinyls using our own patterns and the materials in the pics. I sourced some closed cell foam from clarke rubber, and the vinyl was left over from my dads last project. The contact adhesive we used is made to deal the heat generated off the roof.
-
Finally getting a chance to post again with some more progress. The original diamond vinyl trim was cleaned up and reinstalled into the car. We also cut and installed some carpet underlay. I need to source some carpet and choose a colour. I'm thinking of going a gety to lighten up the interior.

I purchased the Kia seals from the wreakers. I'm pretty sure you could get them brand new from Kia. The are off a 1998- 2002 Kia Sportage
