    well the diff is now fitted back upto the car

    still got the halfshafts to go on
    and galf the driveshaft as well
    i cant find the back brake pads i took off of the car which is a bit worrying as they were in perfect condition lol, might need to go buy more now

    front brakes have seized, bollocks
    pitworks pads on there just now
    have blitz ones to go on


    other problem i have encountered is a problem with the alternator, it is only charing between 9-11 volts which is not enough, however when i got it tested it tested as perfect weird, also managed to set the alternator cable on fire twice, hmm this car has me paranoid now

    Jesus mate theres more bushes there than a bumper edition of Fiesta! Absolutely LOVE Truenos, would love one like Darren McNamaras with the SR20 in it.

    Love the gauge install. Good luck with it and keep the updates coming

    Sounds like u have a major short somewhere Andy.
    that low voltage means something is pulling it down if it tested ok off the car

    Cool

    Gauges look sweet mate. Love the old skool corolla`s. Don`t think they`ve made such a pure car since.They lost their way since they changed them to driving the wrong wheels. Keep up the excellent work

    ok then

    caliper rebuild kit ordered for the rear brakes


    alternator now charging properly, was one ****ing cable going from the fusebox to the alternator that had a split in it, fukcing raging, knew it would be somehting simple, just spending the time finding it

    alloys have been painted same colour as the car, done at home = mega cheapness, they look quite good as well

    dash is all back in, just ned to put the seats and harnesses in

    battery has been relocated to the boot, from back of the passenger seat

    gearbox mount is done

    engine mounts are being done soon, although they look like a right pain in the arse to do any advice?

    still to fit blitz brake pads to the front

    sorry no pics but battery in camera is dead and my mobile had an accident with the washing machine

    well now

    the alternator problem has been sorted, was one shitty cable going to the fusebox grrrr

    TRD engine mounts are fitted
    starter motor is now working properly

    all the seats are in as are the 2 harnesses

    electric fan switch and fog light switch now have proper mounts

    battery has been relocated to the boot

    rear calipers are being rebuilt over next couple of days

    steering wheel is in

    alloys are now midnught purple








    also had a bit of a problem with the engine

    the oil cooler burst its pipe and pissed oil everywhere when i was not there

    what happened was i had the car running for about 10 minutes, went out switched the car off and went to the cinema in my other car, came back from the cinema and seen something wet under the car in the headlights and knew what it was straight away it was darkwhen i left for the cinema so never see the oil

    on investigating the followig day the cooler pipe was burst, i have been lucky it must have burst just before i turned the engine off as the engine is 100% fine thats the updates for now
