Thread: Time for a Re-fit

Hey Martin,

It's certainly worth some experimentation. The engine has always run well, has heaps of compression and usually doesn't spit out oil - but it does do so on higher-speed runs (and by that I mean around 75-80km/h with overdrive engaged).

Thanks for your interest in my re-fit thread. I had a chuckle yesterday when I went back and read the first post in it, in which I waffled on about doing some work on the Landy "this year"... in 2010.

If ever you want to have a yarn about your vehicle, just give me a shout.

Cheers,

John

Whoops. Got myself confused there. That first bit related to the thread I posted about the filler tube with the breather-cap.

Not going mad..... just a little tired and confused....

One of the best bits about this project is that I have discovered rubber grommets.

Getting the instrument panel in is a lot of fun.....

Righto.... I have grown tired over the years of a scrambled mass of wires behind the instrument panel, so I am working on making it all nice and tidy. The final layout of wiring and how it's gathered may be a bit different from this photo, but you get the general idea. As none of the wiring is original, and I'm not doing a restoration, I am pretty much free to arrange it however it works out best. There is still the auxiliary stuff (a few electric fans, lights etc etc) to be sorted out, as well as the wiring to the second fuel gauge and lighting to all instruments.

The other shots show the cabin area as it is now, with the two 16 gallon tanks fitted. Once the overdrive and the fuel lines are fitted (and the old exhaust put in place temporarily) I can look at fitting the seat base and seats.

Cheers,

John

I could only wish the wiring behind my dash were as neat as that!

Very nice.

SAME! behind my dash looks like a rats nest...

Today I stripped the old paint off the radiator panel, then hit it with a coat of Penetrol. I am not going to miss holding the grinder for ages and ages using the wire wheel; it's effective, but a bit of a pain.

Tomorrow should be spent on fuel lines (still not finished) and, if it's dry, putting in the injector pump and injectors and painting the radiator panel.

Forgot the photos!
