Bitten off more than I can chew....
Discussion
Oh well, progress with the modifications is going slowly.
The car is in more pieces than I care to think about and the light at the end of the tunnel is looking very dim...
However, I have managed to get the manifolds off, and have decided to wait for some ARP bolts to arrive from ACT before going any further with fitting the new coated ones. I ended up removing the exhaust (and now I've got it off, it's off to Custom Chrome for some Cherry Bombs, and the starter motor to undo the bolts. Not a pleasant experience, I may have to talk to the wife about having some children so that I have some smaller hands available in the future!
My biggest problem now is that all this time under the car is making me think......I could really do with getting this chassis repainted.....ARGGHHHH!!
Meanwhile I can spend the evenings sorting the ECU wiring out and trying to work out how the hell TVR wired the old alarm into the loom, just two mystery wires left now - A white one and a green one connected to the old Gemini siren unit, the strange thing is, they look like 27Amp cable, but connect to 8Amp stuff at the siren end?????
Anyone in Warks that fancies popping round for a laugh, let me know. I could do with hearing a running engine!!! I've even taking to listening to engines on YouTube!!!
