Default Re: Bearmans Engine Rebuild

Cheers Doc, thanks mate.

Wiring done!! Exhaust done!!

Everything is in and it's now looking like a car again. Got all the lines fitted up, spent the best part of yesterday hunting down bits n' bobs after finding hoses and fittings just didn't want to marry up. All very annoying and frustrating!! Visited Rare Spares for things they never seem to have!!

Need to sort out another carby. Need to run a vacuum advance and the carby I have doesn't have provision for it.

Managed a brake upgrade so yesterday wasn't a total bust!!

Bonnet is on and today in goes the lights, grille and bumper.

Graeme will be visiting tomorrow arvo to do my new fuel line from the tank to the engine bay. 3/8" all the way, and have a sender to suit.

The to do list is carby, sort out the throttle cable mounting, fuel line, bleed up all the hydraulics, add the fluids and start it up!! So close now........

The guys at Performance Exhausts have done a great job. It's always nice to use trades and services which are professional and hassle free.
