The 69er 510

That's exactly right Kitch.
How's your money pit coming along?

The end is closer than the start at least.
Exhaust to fabricate, get injectors, wire up computer, program computer, get speedo drive working, wheel alignment, miscellaneous odd jobs, not a lot really!
Cert...drive.

You guys are a lot closer than me....
Once I get final paint I will feel like I can see light at end of tunnel myself.
but yeah I am getting closer too. reupholstering front seats at present. ECU is in transit, and hope to be in paint shop in a month or so.... all going well, I will battle you for honours at Akaroa but that could be the 7 (or was it 8?) pints of guiness talking...

I just got the gear off the SR box and bodged it onto the shaft of an L series mechanical speedo drive Chris

Still going a good few years down the track

Hall effect sensors ready to mate up to most boxes.

Thanks Shannon and ginge, problem is it's a 6speed late S15box and doesn't have a mechanical drive at all, just a bump in the moulding where it used to go. Have found a crowd in Tauranga ( I think) that does an electronic to mechanical speedo drive. $669.00. That will save a lot of pissing around. The unit is fully adjustable to take in different diff ratios , according to the blurb I read.

Had to move the orange outside today to get the blue car in to fix exhaust for WOF and guess what? But at least some dust washed off and all rubbers and seals waterproof.

This car puts a lot of cars to shame........

So finally started to get back into the car this week got a lot done back on track again .
I decided to re fit the engine by bringing it up from underneath it worked out great and not paint was lost either a bit more planning and time but well worth it .

Just a few more progress pictures guys, had a good week got lots done and hoping to start the old girl up next week and send it in to get the exhaust done also. Fun times not far away now!!!
