    Default Tys Ae71

    So heres the deal

    -Bought this car Stickered, Out of rego but it had a running 4age with a few dodgey minor problems.

    -Problems, When i got it, I had a mate pick it up for me and he told me about the brakes not really working and he had to use to hand brake to stop. lol
    So once i got it home i took the brakes apart and found out i had ceized front calipers.
    It also had a dry brake system with no brake fluid at all.
    - The input of the engine is done nice and clean but theres alot of dodgey wiring, For example i have speaker cable running to the alenator just waiting to be shorted out.
    -My earth key isolation switch is running from the positive lead instead of the negative lead.
    -The Surge tank is a full born cut and shut job.
    Most things on the car so far are done well but other things it looks like theyve just cut corners.
    There all a easy fix so i dont mind.

    -Ive gotten rid of the old clutch fan and have mounted up a single thermo fan for the time bein.
    When i find a matching thermo fan ill go twin but the single good enough for now.
    Fixed a small waterleak from the by pass valve on the water pump housing.( gotta love cilicone).
    Replaced the front calipers and bled the whole system now its sweet as.
    Just started measuring up templates to fit in my centre of my dash(next to the speedo)
    Im putting a button start there along with a fuel pump switch and manuel thermo fan switch and temp gauge with a warning light telling me when to turn on and turn off.
