Last thing to do before stripping the dashboard: Cubby box. Need to buy a 10mm metal drill for that. But first, a beer!

So, update on the tuning front, preliminary of course: Mocal oil cooler, Mocal thermostat, Goodridge braided hoses -> only need to be delivered and installed (the old one is leaking) Tubular manifolds -> the original ones aren't tight anymore...

Good luck with the air condition! I just used my lunch break to fix the rear bumper cover. The new exhaust gets hot, and it almost melted the olastic cover, enough for it to come loose at the clued / pressed in metal bits that screw on to the...

I proposed that! She's working in another country, infortunately, so I'd have to throw in a plane ticket... I think I'll simply start by removing the dashboard and study how the harness is routed, and take it from there!

Yesterday, I had chat with a collegue of mine about harnesses and how to replace them. She said, easy, if you have the old one, strip everything, see where it is routed, connect as specified. Take pictures and mark connections. Easy for her to...

Don't try and ruin my dreams 😂 I can't see any warning lights that's the way I wan It.

What can I say , they are addictive to drive. Just to rub salt in the wounds , I have no lights on the dashboard. ( And no I haven't removed the bulbs)

Remember the future is not written yet . . . . it's what you make it !!

No choice, without hazard lights, parking lights that always on on the right front and side indicators not worker neither not a chance to pass MOT / TÜV... And given the state of the Harnesses as is, no way to fix it without building basically a...

Nevermind, just got of the phone with Auto Sparks, the RHD harness is overall shorter. So I just ordered the last LHD drive one they had. My credit card hates me, the credit card company loves me.

Follow up question, could someone be so kind and share photo of a RHD dashboard and steering column? Because if washer, indicator, light and so on switches are mirrored as well, a RHD harness won't cut it. Instruments would require some...

For sure, I am really bad at electrical, well, things. I can read parts catalogues so. Hence, while I wait for feed-back from Auto Sparks and some other people doing nuts and bolts restaurations, I dug into my RRC parts catalogue. What I...

Emptied the interior yesterday and today, isolated the transmission tunnel, got the rear carpets in, the transmission tunnel carpet as well. Reinstalled the drawers in the back. Plugged two holes, one in the driver foot well and one in the roof...

Yeah, one thing nobody in their right mibds want's me to do DIY is anything electrical. If you want it to work, not set anything on fire or kill you that is!

Unless everything is DIY.

This is where the passion comes in.. 😂

Okay, nevermind. I actually did find someone who does full RRC harnesses for LHD models, Autospark in the UK. I'll give them a call tomorrow! Those cars ARE money pits so...

Good morning everyone! Turned out I have a serious question: I only found RHD harnesses, mi eis obviously a LHD car. So to anyone who did harness replacements, how different are those two in your opinion? And how is routing of the two different...

Ok, today started well enough, getting everything out of the car for the caroet and soind deadening. Turned less good when I failed to remove the front prop shaft, no big deal so. The real downer was the indicator light so. Those don't work any...

Whem she goes back to the mechanic for the carbs, I'll ask him. Not urgent, I can juat seal it with that red silicon stuff, worked great last time. I did go a bit over board with the oil cooler so. Remember the motor sport shop I found? Yeah...

So, I slept over my tinkering ideas. And had a closer look at the car. Hence, a change of plans. A) I need a new oil cooler, the old one is leaking at the thermostat and one crimped in hose. And the connectors are impossible to remove from the...

Yeah, that's the conclusion I reached by now as well. Still a bit disappointed, but even with the way to lean SU, man, she pulls! 😊 Makes this whole snorkel thing a lot easier, and a lot cheaper as well, it reduces the costs for a well suites...

So, I do have news! The Zeniths are almost done, so I'll have to take them back. Which would be good news, IF I hadn't gotten permission from the secretary of finance to go for tge Edelbrock one. And IF I hadn't developed a liking for the...

Brimmed the tank and worked out my mpg to 23.6 Checked what the dash said for the tank full... 23.5 That's pretty close!!

Yeah, the market changed sine Covid, before a lot of people wanted to "overland", now, well, camping cars in general are in decline from ehat I hear. Maybe I find someone interested in good condition LT95 for some close to original restauration...

So, just to close this thread with a defenitive update: She will get new 4-2 exhaust manifolds (the old ones are gone), a Weber / Edelbrock carb, full heat shielding and sound deadening, all of that this year. Maybe even a roof top tent...

So, today, I looked at her. Following that, I send my technical inspector a message for a test appointment. Then I irdered some starter spray, those SUs are great, but way too lean for the new camshaft. The resulting cold start problems require...

That was yesterday's sunrise, one of many photos I took. I had to sleep in today! Edit: Image is too big... so after breakfast then...

So, picked her up yesterday, went to a expidition vehicle meet up with the mechanic and some friends and some others. I felt poor for a sec, between people having a private warehouse twice the size of our not small house next to there villa, for...

Didn't do anything with her today *yet*, might just be able to pick her up this afternoon so if everything works out on my end, the car is finishes with loaner SUs! Really looking forwars to it, as is, surprisingly, the whole family including my...
