Bit of an update on this, been pretty busy so haven't got a whole lot done on anything lately.
Been buying a few turbo kits, going to make the best out of a few for my EB, then use the left overs to boost something else ha ha
Been working on my XT500, engine needed a rebuild. Has been sitting for ten years in a pile, will be nice to get it back together!
Also put the windows back in this, aligned the doors, got the engine going again, almost ready for some club rego!
Been having some issues with my EB, leaking water, P/s fluid and all manner of things. The heater pipe return into the water pump was stuffed, also the feed line for the gas converter had a split in it. Ended up having to fill it with water every drive
Found a stainless bush the exact size of the water return hole, put it in and sealed it up with a bit of stag sealant. Its pretty tight anyway. Axed the heater pipe and joined it with a short piece of heater hose. Hopefully will be alright, I'm a bit wary of heat in that area. Maybe some heat shielding / wrap will help.
This is why we ALWAYS run coolant kids. Ive been filling up with water only, it was going through so much. Will be coolanting it soon after I make sure its not leaking anymore!
Also got a few more cars for bits - EB2 S and and EF Futura.
Also cleaned the engine bay up a heap after all the fixing, heaps better. Hopefully Ill get my steering wheel back this week all retrimmed, will be good to have a decent one back again!
Cheers, hope you are all well!
