I'm sure it takes a lot of patience to put something together like you have Gav. You're getting close, then comes the fun of getting her on the road.

Later

PS...I hear Phil is coming over to visit. Do Not, I repeat DO NOT let him in the front seat......

Cheers Dave, it sure does.

Yes i had heard via the jungle drums that a certain Phil may be leaving the USA for a period of time and heading to a destination unknown. HA HA.

I will be sure to adhere to your warning.

Gav.....don't believe everything they say!!
Gav.....put a larger alternator pulley on to slow your alternator speed down!!!!!

Phil, we have to believe in some things

Roger that on the alt pulley.

So yesterday i filled the radiator and next thing there's water pouring from the back of the new alloy water pump. DAMN it
Pulled the pump and the o'ring that sealed on the back plate had been pinched at assembly, added silicone to cure for now.

Then tonight has been a good night. The heart beats and sounds strong. Exhaust now to be done and then get the miles on it.
Next it will be to lower it back down in to the weeds.

It's great to see those parts find their way to NZ and end up in a very cool car. Much better than sitting on the shelf around here. Good job, Gav!
