rsqme:   yeah mate i can. ill take some photos next time im in the shed.
 
jp63:  unfortunatly no. got the SR fired but its not running right. only on 3 cylinders. done all the standard tests and everything is normal. i suspect somthing in the wiring. spent the time i would have used getting the 2 door ready trying to find the fault with the SR.
 
so at the moment i wont have anything running by sunday unfortunatly. ill still be coming up in a mates esky though

cracked the ****s and this is how i left them.   will get back on it soon
 

it runs!  finally.   the injectors wouldnt fire under cranking which was cause by voltage drop to the ecu.   it would fire first time ok but then wouldnt start again.    once we figured that out it was still running very rough. after testing everything and finding no faults i took the injectors to get tested.  one was stuffed, the shop gave me back all 4 injectors and had marked the dodgey one.  so i bought a new one and fitted. still ran like ****.  after testing everything again and pulling my hair out i found that the shop had marked the wrong injector. so the faulty one was still in there.
 
now it runs good, finally.   getting very close to roadworthy inspection now. still a few more jobs though.
 
 
anyway i also scored a dslr cheap and have been playing with that. i have no idea what im doing. so....enjoy



 

 

Best of both worlds. Looking great dude.
Your kidding with the injector mix up, What a joke.
Goodluck with them.

cheers mate.  yeah it was very annoying.  took a while to figure out and the cars are half hour away at  my parents house so i cant just pop down to the shed and do "5 mins work" here and there.   anyway alot of people in the same boat, im just glad its sorted because for a while i  had half given up because i was lost as what to test next.
 
 

another pic.   once registered it will be lowered and different, smaller wheels
 
 
 

update on the sr.  emissions test is done. will be going for roadworthy in the next few weeks. getting very close now.
 
the 1600, still no progress.  been spending all my time on the sr escort. basically all ive done is push it in and out of the shed :/ 
 
been playing around with the camera again 





 
this ones not mine but its a good pic of the engine bay

 
 
 
 
 

you tend too use the camera more when the car isnt at your house, im the same i always take pics of the panel van so i can get enthusiastic by looking at photos

Nice job on both cars mate
