So we have had some set backs as my radiator repair didn’t work so I’ve had to remove the radiator, my heater seems to be leaking also but I believe the culprit is a nicked hose so I will remedy that at the same time once the coolant has drained. My fuel tank fitting is also leaking so I’ve drained ...

The surprise arrived today… The kit is for a efi set up but I bought that one so I can chop and change what car it’s in as most of my stuff is efi.

Decided to pull it out for the first time and see it in the sun also needed to spin it around to get ready for the motor to go back in.

The beauty of having had the 2 Utes is that I have almost 2 of everything so it was just a matter of picking the better condition stuff and in some cases picking the more faded stuff cause I believe it should take the paint better on the plastics anyways. I know paints not the best on plastic but it...
