that driving position looks pretty close to the wheel, and the angle your foot needs to be on for the gas pedal can get pretty painful after a few km's.
also getting your head away from the top of the screen (or rollbar )would be advisable , shes gonna ride a lot different to the safari and your gonna be getting thrown around a lot with the leaf springs and the super short wheelbase

Yeah, i'm not small either. They were just sitting there as a test fit, I think they need to be back further for me and a lil high if poss.......

Just swapped wiring looms from the parts truck into the good one. Took all of half an hour :lol:

Somones done a really dodgy setup to run a ballast resistor coil, but other than that, its sweet, and i have wires for windscreen wipers and lights now. Sweeeeeet

Well, i was tinkering around in the engine bay after swapping wiring looms from the parts truck, and last night managed to get a nice fat spark, and the engine turning over on the starter motor :cool:

So i thought hey, i know i need to reclean the carb as i realised i missed some circuts when i did it (found out when i got the work shop manual), and the spark plugs are pretty dirty and need replacing, but i'll hook some fuel/oil mix up to it and see what happens......

This is what happend :twisted:

Its alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like its running on 2 cylinders, and a couple of times bursts into three, but hey, i know whats wrong, and its easy to fix. All i need now is to set the cooling system up, and i can spend some time getting it running properly ( prolly better get the exhaust done too, neigbours won't be impressed)

(

yes i jumped away when it fired the first time :lol:

I serisouly am one of those trademe suckers or just everytime i goto get something from there they are waiting for me!!!!!!!!! $150 for mine

Lots of nice progress DB! lots of cool places down here to drive it -- when you moving down again ?? -- I need someone to finish my project off :wink:

Mike

lilpigzuk · Post by **lilpigzuk** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 7:41 am

Loving it DB

How long till you go for a maiden voyage up the drive and back??

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 8:01 am

Yeah, those harnesses were a score, very pleased with them!!!!! (they are out of date for car rallying, so no use to anyone other than stock car drivers, boy racers and 4x4 guys)

Just waiting on the accellerator cable thats getting built, and then its all there to go for a spin up the drive and hopefully back again. Not sure what i will do about the fuel system though, can't mount the tank just yet, might have to put it on the floor on the passengers side and see if the mechanical fuel pump will do its thing...........................

So ya, maybe Saturday

Rubberneck · Post by **Rubberneck** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 10:36 am

Thats starting to sound the part, told you thay are loud without the exhaust, hows that chamber coming??

DieselBoy · Post by **DieselBoy** » Mon Mar 19, 2007 8:59 am

Yeah, chambers in the works at the moment

Wopass (Ben)'s got a mate who's gonna wip it up when he gets some free time

No seriouse rush for it though, the projects on hold untill i get back from my Sth Island holiday at the end of April. Then its back to every spare moment i get thrown at it :twisted:

In saying that though, its off to Mike Sanson at Waikato 4x4 Parts and Repairs to get a Nat Trials standard cage thrown in it this coming friday (23rd), so ROCK ON!!!!!!!!!

Seriouse BLING seat brackets (tig welded by Wopass :wink:

)

All the leavers in place and adjusted and they even work!!!!!!

Got a radiator to fit and eventualy some hoses that kinda work. Not alot of room though

Air filtration system

Kinda proplem with the shocks i was planning to use. They were some basically brand new Rancho RS5000's i pulled outa my Terrano before i sold it a few years ago. Forgot they were extended travel :oops:
