Still no photoworthy progress on the van, certainly nothing not like our boys having their cars recently painted.
 
I've made some progress on the wiring, main loom is routed in the car with the dash back in, and new main leads for the relocated battery, relocated fuse panel and alterations from 1300 to 2L wiring. Plus an isolation switch is hiding in there too somewhere.
A guy is coming to fit a new windscreen in the next week or so. Technically thats probably out of order, but the surrounds have been given another topcoat in readyness, and it will give me the illusion of some progress. I can soon put down the underfelt, and seal the interior off.
 
There's one pesky rust spot near the fuel tank I was going to ignore.
It really needs doing before we go playing with unleaded, so thats next on the list.
That and an earth strap to the engine block is just about the only thing stopping the first startup.

some more little jobs, just nice to get ticked off.
 
These sun visors were really manky before I cleaned them with washing powder and a stiff brush.
Against the new headliner though, they still look average, so will instead get a respray in black vinyl paint when I do the brown doorcards.
 
I'd never taken much notice of sun visor placement in a van, and despite there only being 1 spot for them, and the screw holes all lining up in the roof frame, they definitely look odd and had me worried, so I had to pull the headliner back away to have a good look. Yep, thats where they go. They are MK1's though, and interestingly identical, not handed.

That gave me the chance to redo the front roof panel, covering it with scrim foam stopped much of the creasing in the pics. I'm expecting the window rubber will improve much of that again around the opening flange.
 
And the final rust repair done. I'm beginning to hate welding upside down.

 
 
Marty's pod got a Raceworks oil pressure gauge. Apparently you can set low oil pressure warning on it.
And choose from a variety of funky led colours.


My windscreen guy has been off with the flu for a week.
Next job is to look at replacing the thin coil signal lead which broke off the distributor when installing the oil sender.
Then maybe fill brakes with fluid and see how many leaks we have.
 

Looking good Deano.
I know what you mean with the visors. I have done a double take before too.
That would be an electric oil sender?
Good luck with the brakes. Is it just the standard front/rear circuits from one master?
