its alive......excellent news....which colour are you picking for it?
All of them!
Actually, none of them! It will be Vermillion (doors are Pimento) simply because that's what the comm tag says!
I'm chuffed to bits with a successful first drive, I was by no means nailing the throttle, but it took off like a scalded cat! And I am over the moon that the trans works correctly, I was extremely worried that I'd have to have the original ecu rebuilt at huge cost rather than just using the cheap second hand one i've fitted. Now it's settled onto it's springs a bit, the ride height looks reasonable too. I've deliberately kept this one close to stock in ride height, wheel size and tyre profile to give a more relaxed ride. It's certainly not SLOW, but the auto and general spec means it's not a racecar, but then, I already have one of those!
It's now safely back in the garage and my Mojo is at full capacity! The next time it emerges, it should be all one colour and have a vinyl roof! If all goes to plan, this should be early July and a few weeks later to be fully fitted up!
Since nobody really wants to see boring pics of me endlessly rubbing down paint, i'll concentrate the next posts on the other interesting things like building in the T1300 bonnet bulge and how I build the console up.
I did the investigations on fancy stereos and have found myself a DOOZY! It was more than twice what I expected to pay, but my upcoming 66th birthday (end of the month) and my everloving family have ganged up to get it for me!
It's a double DIN size touchscreen that accepts every kind of multimedia format you can imagine plus Satnav, reversing camera, bluetooth, voice commanded phone dialling and some other stuff I haven't worked out the purpose of yet! I have, of course, done my homework and the double din WILL fit the console with POSSIBLY just enough space for the leccy window switches too! I can't show pix of it yet as SWMBO has kidnapped it to giftwrap. I have however, kept the fitting cage so I can carry on with the console!
