a bit of this and a bit of that

nothing worthy of pics, just more running of wires etc. gauges are back in the dash, the oil pressure gauge pipe is rerouted and now goes through a grommet at the bulkhead. the engine even turns over on the key . we even added washers and a locknut to the throttle cable where it goes through the bulkhead, the whole cable was flopping back and forth in the hole like a pr*ck in a shirt sleeve, lol.

it seems i've located a tunnel ram for my nash. it's had the top altered for (i think enderle?) injection so i'll need to do something with that but it's not the end of the world.

bit more done today, the dash is hanging almost in position and everything's connected and works. we'll get the dash bolted in and the new wiring tied and sleeved neatly tomorrow.
my mate who's car it is arrived in his new toy after lunch, a steel model A coupe fenderless hot rod. it has a fully detailed chassis with a 350/350 up front.
we have to collect a 2.0 (2.1 i'm told) pinto and auto box with lokar shifter by saturday so it can go for a ride to the swapmeet sunday before being dropped off at john gumble's shop ready to go in his new '39 willys. it's all go, lol.

in between 'jobs' i've been watching episodes of 'full custom garage'..... again. bad idea really, it's making me think of what we can do to my mk2 zodiac once it's here

oh and i've bought another set of slot mags 10 x 15's with 275/60's and 4.5 x 15's with 165's. they may go on the zodiac..... not sure yet.

dash is back in, wiring neatened and secured, drivers floor in, tunnel and bellhousing cover in, seat in, fuel line at carb fitted, tranny cooler lines fittes and connected and cooling hoses fitted. my mate's popping round with petrol and tranny fluid friday so we can fire it up, it's not run properly since he fitted a good rover v8 he had replacing the old knackered one. tomorrow we're collecting the pinto and box so won't touch the 32.

paid the customs fees today so my jay brown intake adapter should be delivered soon. i'll collect my 351 cleveland tunnel ram at the swapmeet sunday, that'll bolt to the above adapter. just need to see what carb's are there sunday and if not i'll buy a new pair of chedelbrock (chinese edelbrock, lol) 500's.

the 32 was picked up this morning and he tinkered with it and got it running today for a video. it just needs 'going through' now by the new owner but he's pricing it accordingly. the engine/box came from a consul he broke up that ran well but was rotten, it just hasn't run (til today) since being in the 32. all the electrics work now it's rewired and the brakes work good, even the handbrake is good.
in other news the inlet adapter for my fe engine arrived today, woohoo!!

ok, call me a tart/poser but i just ordered 2x 3" electric exhaust cutouts for my nash. i say 2x not a pair as 1 was on offer so £10 less than everyone else so i bought that and a 2nd from elsewhere.
