Its been a while since some updates, so here goes... After i put the engine in, all the small odds and ends where fitted. the new engine mounts meant the alternator had to be moved, a new fanbelt was required and the mounting had to be cut and modified.
The brake pipes where rebent to new less visible postions, and then rubbed down and resprayed gray, looking much neater now.
The water hoses and pressure pipes where cleaned and refitted. Some pipes where replaced all together. Also the steel fuel line in the engine bay was completed.
The fan unit was cleaned off the rubberiser residue and some of the plastic which was cracked was fixed.
One very hard part to source was a gearbox dust cover, most people discard them, so we fabricated one out of 1mm steel and sprayed it black, we used the gearbox as a template to mark the profile and cut it to fit.
Gear lever was refitted, speedo cable was ceased and had to be replaced. Interior ready for sound deadening.
Managed to source some sound deadening, they are rather expensive. The make in the box cost R350 a sheet, but is heat and sound proof. The other 2 sheets are cheaper and are more for sound proofing.
I used the expensive stuff on the gearbox tunnel and firewall, closet to the gearbox and engine. Also did the footwells since the pic was taken, and will proberbly do some sections of the floor panel.
Cleaned up the boot of the clutter, so i could check space for the new battery cable and battery box.
More updates to follow regarding the electrical system and interior.
