Yeah KRudd is going to be partly financing the panel/paint work. If everything goes to plan it might hopefully come out for the BBQ cruise. I have collected most of the parts etc

Engine bay need a good steam clean too!

Tunzbig · 05-03-09, 00:59

K rudd will be financing alot of stuff for me to, looking good man, be good to see her out and about again,

stocker31 · 05-03-09, 01:35

hey dude, u should get that specialised acid wash and smash that car with it.... then it will look brand new again.. But that will be a sweet vl once she is finished..

Oliver · 07-03-09, 00:35

Ready to start just needs coolant and oil adding tomorrow

Mattuz · 07-03-09, 14:06

nice to see its all back together oliver cant wait to see it all finished

Oliver · 07-03-09, 22:17

Well it turns over but wouldnt start...

Check fuel line no fuel coming through, looked at fuel pump and a puddle was forming under the fuel pump so guess its packed it in

joelah501 · 07-03-09, 23:03

That sucks Ol

Will make it an even happier day when it's going though! Haha

Oliver · 07-03-09, 23:16

Yeah hopefully sort it out tomorrow

Steve · 08-03-09, 09:09

maybe you've just got a split line oliver?? change the line try again??

Oliver · 08-03-09, 13:37

Cant hear the pump priming at all though, but yeah maybe the line is split... Apart from that it turns over no worries

burgo88 · 09-03-09, 10:30

Oliver · 12-03-09, 23:44

Timing was way out and I might have put a fuel line on the wrong way

Oh and replaced the fuel pump!
