just a bit of an update,







finally got around to tapping in a threaded fitting







i no im proud







i made myself soem door cards, haha theres a little pimp in us all

The fuel line fitting to the carby looks great, but your fuel filter position is why they fall out in the first place.

Lower it closer to the manual fuel pump.

Just swap the fuel lines between the carby and fuel pump, the arrow on the filter shows what direction the fuel flows.

must say im dassapointed, all those pics and not a single update of the car leaning chick [88]

how many times have you painted your car now?

haha, yeah, touchups in primer, and then entire car in black, now primer again, im trying really hard to get all the black paint off where the primer was painted, got alot of work ahead of me.




on another note, i went to get the escort alive today, and it wont start, well it will, but it wont hold it, i got it to fire a few times, but it died right after, and i noticed fuel leaking out the side of the weber thats on it, sigh.... like ALOT of fuel, stupid amount of fuel lol...

it's coming along nicly.

cheers, i got the carby kit today, FINALLY, and i went all together nicely, it came with alot more parts than i thought it would.

anyway,

i chucked it on and engine did the whole "im trying to start, im really trying"

and i touch the extractors to see its only firing on cylinder no 4..

F*CK that pisses me off... the last time i started it (just over 7 days ago) it ran fine, on all 4... so i chuck some leads from our fire truck on, to see if the leads are shot and it still is only firing on one cyl...

freaken hell, i literally JUST replaced those plugs.

ill give em a clean and see if they start to fire.

but anyway heres a bit of an update...

i didn't end up getting a mig (money) so i bought an el cheapo arc. does the job! quite good for the money it cost.



and started to get to work on an exhaust system. it will probably be temporary, i cant see it passing a road worthy lol.

using a motorbike muffler i had lying around haha. again, temporary...







pretty good for first time use..



and there she is

A great job for a beginner. good luck with it Sterlo.

Love the door cards!!

Seriously I admire your efforts. At the very very least you are not scared to have a go.

Nice looking shed.

thanks guys

yeah im never afraid to try something i haven't done before, in alot of cases i end up screwing something up but you learn as you go

i bet your having a ball doing it all your self.
i,ve got 2 get a mig & i'll do my forrest arches. [:x)]
