DeLaSoul Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Looks a bit more like a car in there now! Feels a bit more like a car too. Not sure about sitting so far back as I can now really judge it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Feels a bit more like a car too. Not sure about sitting so far back as I can now really judge it! As long as you haven't already fixed the seat into position you can change it once there's more interior in, well what is going back in anyway!

Krzys Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Ohhh. Can you drive it yet?!?!?!!If sitting there making noises counts then I'd say yes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaSoul Posted July 3, 2014 Author Share Posted July 3, 2014 As long as you haven't already fixed the seat into position you can change it once there's more interior in, well what is going back in anyway! I can move the seat one click forward and 5 clicks back. New pedals really dictated the seat position as they come back another 5" from the stock position. It'll be more than drivable, just feels weird being so far away from the dashboard and even the indicators! Ohhh. Can you drive it yet?!?!?!! Not unless someone is pushing it along for me If sitting there making noises counts then I'd say yes! Brrrrrrm Brrrrrrrmmmmmm Brrooooom Brooomm lol 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 That's how I feel when I get into one of those new cars that have huge dashboards and you end up 2 or 3 feet further away from the windscreen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Time for a quick update (not a lot happening, work it getting in the way) New radiator has arrived, doesn't fit but I'll soon sort that Need to cut off the stock lower mounts for the radiator, unbolt the air con rad mounts and reweld. The pins for the top will also have to be cut off and new mounts made on the sides of the rad. Not something I'm going to attempt but I know someone who can help This will also pull the rad forward to give more clearance to the manifold Next job, sort the dials. I know the stock fuel gauge will not work with the new fuel cell, so need somewhere to fit the new gauge. Why not use the old location? Stripped down the casing, and a quick skim with the dremmel and the gauge fits the front panel Time to make it fit the back part, clear off everthing in the way Mark out roughly where the gauge will end up Not my finest dremmel moment, but it will do for now. Cut the circuit board to clear. Luckily, I am only effecting the original fuel gauge connections, nothing I can't bypass And then time to clean, reassemble and re-glue the housing back together Saves having a dead dial and another stuck on the dash! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Like the ingenuity there! Shame the new gauge didn't have a red/orange needle! Great stuff though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
