I am told your GUS would have had the later 2Litre whereas I think olute would have had the earlier 2l. I know little about them other than I'll try an get the correct one!! Got to work out what that is yet!

Paging Diana......

Fair enough. I know little about the 2L aswell - haven't had a need to as yet.

The one that was floating around may well have been an early one - I only got that it was a 2L. I'm sure there are closer ones down your way anyway.

Thanks for the photos Paul

I shall search my notes in the shed about the wiring for the indicators but I reckon you now know as much as I did. The heater hose under the thermostat housing was originally run to the two inlets on the manifold (at the base of the carby). Doubled up this way as I ran out of heater hose and did not get 'back to complete it'.

If you have any questions mate - give me a buzz and I will help out where I can.

She is looking very nice fella

Well I can now turn corners legally. (Well not quite cos I'm still not registered ...but you get my drift!)

There is something about "dropping out the dash" in a series 1 that I just love.

5 bolts and your done!.

Found the flasher unit, replaced it, bit of head scratching (actually a day and a half!) Jumping wires around, more head scratching and I 've got it all worked out. She now flashes and toots!

Wiring still looks a bit dodgy so I'll have to tidy that up......but it works.

Next job. Brakes!

Well done mate

With the brakes - first take a look at the adjustment of the master cylinder as the rest have been replaced and bled pretty well. Remembering rightly, I had gone too far with the adjustment of the master cylinder and had not taken it back.

Well, all the lights are operative.
Fixed the right hand rear tail light - wire had come loose - easy fix.
Brakes lights weren't operating - cleaned the switch - all OK.
Bought myself a Holden manual so I can understand the 202 a bit better.
Temp gauge (afteramarket) doesn't appear to be operating so will have to fiddle with that.
Gave her a good clean (and a bit of polish) so she's coming up real schmick - I'll get her out in the sun tomorrow for a few pics.

Jobs left before I attempt roadworthy:

• Exhaust - currently exits ahead of rear wheel - not sure if that is ok.
• Seatbelts - fit 2 x lap sash and centre lap.
• Brakes - adjust

Getting closer

You are coming along well Paul Cant wait to here that its on the road.

dont get too excited about the U shape hose. They are the heater ports for the GMH fit. quite common to "bypass" the heater this way when they start leaking.
