Jackal

I'd be interested in going to this. The car should have most of the bugs worked out by then.

I haven’t been out to see the car since Sunday, but have been able to get the scuttle together for the last time I hope. I’m missing the passenger side wiper arm at the moment, as the other one if for a RHD I think. The wiper arm bends the wrong way and appears to require the holes on the other side of the scuttle. In the hole for the heater (hamster ball) I will be placing the ECU. It is held in place with a bracket that the shop made for me when laying out the wires, and will also hold the Fuel air gauge. I’ll be bolting much of that together this week, and this will hopefully be the last time until after the inspections. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/th_1f2932e878d52a253c0eb0b358d250e0_zpse731c058.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/th_9f61ef5ac9b08b72a1d3da632e3fb575_zps4dba45b4.jpg

Only a couple pictures from Saturday. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/th_a94ad13599d08fd13128644251c55034_zpsc9260aad.jpg http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/th_61542e10e0415adebd762bcc2e0d41a5_zpsd26c5e44.jpg

You're spot on there. Not one foot traveled on it's opwn power yet. :nopity: That changes shortly. You'll see.

Where are the pics from the meet yesterday? Did i mention orange is my favourite colour?

Hardy Har Har. :boxing: She'll be ready, you'll see. :cooldude:

I will be prepared for a cold ride. I can't wait. There's number 2.

So it will be a bit chilly tomorrow, I'm still down for a lift if you'll be rolling in the Se7en, but i'm guessing that there will be little change in the road conditions between now and then.

Crappy picture of mine. I had intended it for the garage when I eventually get one but front entry will do for now. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/093190e98d916ca4f2107d2b8f92fd42_zpsf95ca318.jpg

Today was a day filled with doing stuff, but relatively little getting accomplished. I managed to get an accessory outlet wired in and just about mounted. Knowing that there may be some cold mornings that don't bother me but may bother my passengers, I figured I would add the plug for heated motorcycle gear. I have added it to the bottom plate of the fuse panel. I didn't have the required bolts to finish the job, but found the ones I had in mind, and will mount it tomorrow. Next up was the massive amount of assembly that is required to mount the bloody rearview mirror. The scuttle must be on to ensure that I don't mount the mirror directly above the dash and ruin it with the nuts on the bottom of the scuttle. I also needed to put on the windshield to ensure I don't mount the mirror too far back and have conflicts of space. I also wanted the mohair cockpit top on to be sure that I don't have any conflicts with the push snaps, and being able to use the top dispit the mirror. Once everything was built, there were a couple measurements made, and a couple of magnets set in place before pulling the whole set apart again. I'll post the picks of the mirror later, but will post one of the assembly today to giv you an idea of the shape the car is taking. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/DD30F965-35C6-495E-8388-D79DA1714197-10188-00000AFFF1723100_zps26d75573.jpg

Well then, that's sorted. I'll gladly take that ride then, if the invite is still on the table.

Separate bank accounts wins again!!!

Sure do. Let me check and see if Kitty wants to go first though.I should also ask here, is this a gents only meet?

Less bits and parts every day.

Are you sure you're not thinking this Saturday (the 2nd)? Snow on Sunday apparently. I can show you a Se7en in pieces.

I guess it's just a matter of personal opinion. Would it be different at any Earl's, Joey's, or Cactus Club? Exactly the same hiring practices, just less honest about it. PS, I'll be showing up in a boring Jeep unless folks down south are thinking about blatting and need the extra weight to balance the car.

I'm in for wherever. Hooters has great wings.

Yeah I wouldn't drink Molson either if I had to deal with the half octane crap served down south. :rofl:

Slow but sure. I have been very happy to be able to get back into the Garage and work. It is something I have missed dearly. As for ready for the first blat, I am hoping so. It still needs a tune, and all the little things sorted. I also jneed to get it inspected and VIN'd up. I hear you may have some input on streamlining the process of getting it inspected......

Thanks much, and it appears to have worked. I pulled the fuse block today to see what was underneath it. Fortunately the wires come out without too much issue. I swapped the headlight lead for the electric fan, and it went back together smoothly. The headlights now come on with ignition (daytime running if you will), and a switch on the switch box turns on the running lights (no front marker lights) and the dash lights. A second switch that I wired in series with the dash/marker light switch is for the high beams, and that has now also been tested and confirmed. Electrics that have now been tested and confirmed: horn circuit turn signals hazard lights running lights headlights high beams dash lights heated windscreen ignition Next on the list of electrics are brake lights reverse lights check gauges functionality wipers and washer pump run oil pressure hose Add 12v outlet (Kitty will want heated motorcycle jacket) engine warning lights.

On to the headlights now. I have been using Slomove's wiring diagram, and have been so thankful that it was available for me to use. I'll take this opportunity to thank Slomove now. :hurray::cheers::hurray: I have however run into a challenge with the wiring. When at the shop and the battery was finally hooked up, the headlights were on all the time. I simply disconnected the supply to the headlight relays and left it until this week to sort. As it turns out the fuse block I have leads the the headlight supply wire from a "permanent on" fuse. Slomove's diagram shows that the supply line should have come from a switched fuse, but that is not the case for my fuse block. I will now have to switch the fuse lines behind the block to allow the 928 supply wire to be fed from a switched fuse, and not the permanent on. I'll verify that the cooling fan is in the space I need for the headlights and swap the two. Wish me luck.

Well I have been a bit busy this week. It was my birthday this Monday passed (11th) and i have been out and about for much of the week that followed. I have managed to get out to work on her a bit though. This past week I have been focusing on the wiring as there were some challenges. I had to sort out the turn signal and hazard switches first, and add a horn button. Because I have switched to LED's for all the lights on the car, some new flashers have had to be ordered as well. I am happy to say though that these two sets of light systems have been sorted through. The biggest challenge was with separating the hazard and turn signal circuits on the same set of lines. I used a couple diodes to separate the left and right sides from each other, but still turn on with the hazard switch. None of my switches are DPDT, and this led to the initial short between circuits that I had to sort. Here's how I assembled the diodes using blade connectors on the back of the switch. Of course I added som plastic and heatshrink to build a mechanical strength to the part, but that picture didn't turn out. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/A2F53EAB-5D73-422B-81B6-FC8B41EC48D6-16758-0000129659E25E5F_zps71096a13.jpg Here's a shot of the layout of the three remaining switches I had left over. http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l294/nivaguy/D3092450-5287-4513-8A74-8BB23DE2E224-20330-0000167D73D8E63C_zpsbb2ace6c.jpg

Shane, I realize the thought that goes into a proper spoiler setup, and admit that I have done very little. My main concerns were with how to anchor the the wing on the roll bar. I know I'll be looking for the extra downforce when I get racing my as of yet unfinished project, but wasn't sure how I was going to accomplish it. I have measurements to make, and more planning, but the main hardware I was concerned about is resolved in my mind. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch for the help Shane, I will be sourcing these parts for my project. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all. I'm open to the spoiler choice based firstly on availability and price of course.

That is exactly what I would like to do. I would like mine to be easily removable for when I'm just touring and may want the top up. How easy is the wing to remove?
