Got the engine ready to go just waiting for the converter to get here. Painted the rocker cover wrinkle red, turned out pretty good I think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to pull the diff out and send it away, not real confident on building a diff myself. Don't need the 2nd hand diff I brought 4 months ago haha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waiting for tailshaft to be done and just need to put intake manifold and wiring harness back on and it should be right. So maybe another month haha 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried to get it to turn over but it doesn't want to know about it. Thought it might be a software issue but starting to think the battery is nearly flat too, which probably doesn't help. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to finish putting a few things back together and it'll be ready for a test drive.Haltech ECU is amazing, so many options and easy to use. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got home and realised the shifter wasn't engaging 1st so was driving in 2nd haha. Got a new shifter hooked up today and tested it with the car on stands and all good.Also got the new Haltech ic7 dash 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
