It’s August 2019 now, the windscreen work took some time to complete - finding time was the first issue then painting had to wait for the best possible weather conditions was the second.
In the mean time I’ve done a few other things. This little red brumby will cop an EJ22 conversion. I’ve collected all the required parts over the last year or so.
The loom was cut down. This is what I started with once I stripped all the conduit and wrapping off:
Once the job was done I was left with this:
That loom was tested with the engine I have lined up for the conversion.
That loom is wrapped and laid out in the brumby waiting for the rest of the conversion. A second standard inlet hard fuel line was fitted through the cab with the stock lines. This will become the return line for the efi system. This will minimise any back pressure in the return system.
And this is the other thing happening while the windscreen is out - needs a general clean up and some foam tape on the air duct joints:
Old dash and cluster is up top, the stock unit. Below is the long dash and six gauge analogue cluster from a touring wagon/coupe/GL sedan. This will make my interior much nicer to look at!
After this I hope the windscreen will go in next week. Pay my rego, clean up some rust in the tray before it gets any nastier, then drive it!
Once back on the frog and toad, other things can be looked at - electric windows are definitely on the cards!
For now I’m very excited about the dash and cluster swap!
Cheers
