tonight i did a little bit

mounted all the headlight loom up in the left guard area
fully bolted the left guard on, all adjusted and the gaps set

ran the bonnet release cable throught the right guard, through into the rad support top panel and pops out just before the leaver which is coverd by a plastic panel anyway
mounted the headlight loom on the right also but need to get a earth termnal/ring and screw that down before i bolt the guard on

cleaned out a few threads with a tap as well

would post pictures but cant be botherd too tired

did get anything done last night besides got a few earthing terminals
also found out the turbo lines were posted from Tas yesterday so apparently they should be here today

 

[VL Berlina 5speed]

factory water lines for turbo arrived today
so last parts to bolt the turbo on is all good

tested the oil feed hole with air and its not drilled enough
so gave captian thread a call and he is going to stop by on saturday while on the way back from another job,
doing it free of charge

just fitted up my left guard, still need to adjust it a little bit so im happy
fitted the bonnet and gapped that up

asked my boss if could paint my car mid feb in the booth but he said no,
because the other painter and apprentice kept abusing there allowance of using the both by making money on my boss doing cashies and using his paint etc

so ill have to find a booth to hire out for a day:bang:

my lecturers used to love me dropping in unexpected haha, usually ended up at th pub talkin a whole load of ****, but might be your best bet. dont think tradeschool starts till end of february so if your ready by then it might be the time to get it sprayed while no ones there

tommorow im heading to a crash shop in lonsdale that a panel beater at work mates owns, so ill see how much and when i can hire it then ill go from there

captain thread came today to drill the oil feed more
kept drill and got to 117mm into the block and stopped as he was a bit questioning the distance into the engine
he is going to ask a person he knows whom builds high power rb motors for skylines and vls

so i went to u pull it and found 5 diffrent s2 vl engines,
unbolted the plugs and measured the distance
all measured to 175mm,
so monday or tuesday night he said he will come back down and drill it further,

also tidyed up under the dash quite a bit, was going to put the dash all together but i need to replace the air box actuator as it snapped it when i pushed the fuse box through to the glovebox

well today was intresting
felt like crap all day as i drank quite a bit last night


Mic took me up to u pull it this morning and picked up a air box actuator
got home and we put the dash together
more so Mic did most of it i was just lossing everything and out of it

ran new speaker cabling for the front speakers,
fitted all the duct piping
and tidyed the cabling a bit more
dash is now all bolted on just little parts to do like get a panel to replace one of mine fit the foot well covers etc

finished the engine loom,
