Thread: Embarrassment

I'm here Banjo!!!

Hehehe....Nah Aus was at work and I was having a nanna nap. Living up to my name again.

Hey Banjo, what shockers do you reckon I should put on my Series 3? Thinking of a new steering damper too.

I search here on aulro but takes 90 secs between each search so takes forever Haven't found any good threads.

I'd be interested in the steering damper, too.

What I should have been doing is taking pictures of the rebuild effort. I have a few 'snaps' but nothing serious and there have been lots of times when I should have taken some.

This past weekend:

All I managed to get done was:

completed the wiring
installed Series 3/late 2a wipers (single motor) - all in and working!
created mount points for facia panel that covers wiper spindle and control line.
drilled and cut holes and installed demister tubing and demister heads

I was about to go and install new park and indicator lights all round - one park light was refusing to function last weekend so I ordered a whole new set - but now the original is working so I'll leave that for now.

Next steps:
strip down the heater assy - clean and pressure test - check lecky motor and bearings - mount in vehicle
finish refurbishing steering wheel and mount that back in the vehicle

neither of those will get done any time soon

and after all that -
I am getting close to getting an engine ready for it
I need to sort out an exhaust system
I need to get the seats recovered
I have ordered new door rubbers
I am about to order new rear and side window rubbers
I am about to order two new door tops and possibly a passenger door.

Then I get to sort out the brakes and clutch hydraulics


so - still a bit to do

NA couple of weeks you will be all done.
I made a whole new wireing harness for mine.
The park light will be the earth on that one light.
Heater assembaly WHATS THAT mine didn't have one so i never put one in it .but super crap sell those new ceramic one so i will use those when it gets cool not cold enuff yet to worry about that..
Steering wheel i have a sports one SMALL.
I used defender door rubbers allround second hand.
My side window rubbers came from CLARK RUBBER was heaps cheaper buy it the length.
I need a new door top for drivers side passenger side one is an allor one would love one for the drivers side to no rust.
The brakes dont go there mine where a nightmare, i had to take the whole assembaly off & sit them upside down on the swivel to bleed them properly,if you have trouble i will send you some pics & info on how we got mine done fatty's graet on brakes actualy she's good on all things resto she helped me with all mine i just dont let her weld although it is funny to watch.

Thanks Jas, just sent them an email - I love the internet. Yeah I will stick with standard set up.
I will have a go at fitting them myself. No idea but it doesn't look that hard. (He says looking for his bike helmet )

aye up you two
