Default my 2wd saff update , bufty session

hi folks thought it was about time i started a thread off had my saff for about 3 yrs now bought it of my mate who works at bristol st ford and i had done a bit of work when he owned it
when i bought it it had got a brand new t34 500 cooler bailey breather running a stg 1 chip so 1st thing i did was take it to karl norris for a proper setting up and came away with a stg1 t34 gunship conversion more updates and pics on the way

right its been a while since i updated been busy with gettin some stuff done but 1st of all want to say massive thanks to nashy he has been pushing me a long with getting the work done


i have had the fuel pump rewired and fans rewired too which is a proper tidy job well inpressed with it i will show some pics of this next time i get the car out in the day light

so then new cambelt water pump camseals and tappets oh and auxillary belts have been fitted had to mint the fuel pump bracket up cos that was proper mingin

so a little help from the boss [she will kill me for this 1 ]






then purchased this to go in the bracket






oh and thanks to KEV 3dr for the fitting top man


couple of pics of the pump and fan wiring













made a start of putting the loom in too just got to finish it off







this was the gauges i bought off ryhan but wanted something slightly different to try and make it look a little factory so big thanks goes out to the master dave monster for this gauge plate i had him make up for me just fitted it in to the original haeter vent surround i think it looks pretty good pics might not show it though









so last week took the top part of the dash and had it repaired by a company called leathertech there was this stupid old style alarm thing on the dash a bit like the old moss alarms so when i took this off there was some right shitty holes underneath and crack was starting to appear near to 1 of the heater vents
they have repaired it today looks spot on cant even tell well impressed with it got no pic of that yet though

so tomoz night dash is going back in with some help from ad


and may even put this on
