Well done for tracking down the family, I know Barrie Willa was trying to contact him.

Nice work on the axles

Yeah...
Barrie told Stian in Norway who put me to the job.
Then the bad news rolled back in that order again.

I am just posting the news fir all you folks.

Cheers on the axles;)

So the Volvo water pump came in, fitted the old pulley with the very helpfully instructions of Dave at DMCMW.

Installed the air induction manifold and the k jet housing. Next up all the peripherals, vaccum n wiring.

Image so far...


Looking at it feels like this beast can push 500 horse power.... But I have to settle for only less than a third that...

It still looks nice though

I just hoping it will start.
K jet is full of components that have to work...
Fuel Distributor
Injectors
Start valve
Return valve
Fuel pump
Idle module
Switches
Relays
Control unit
Lambda
Oxygen sensor...
Bloody hell!!!!!!

I was wishing for a carb!

Went on and installed my stainless fuel lines.


Picked up fascias, rear louvre and engine cover from the paint shop







And installed the centre console leaving the few gaps open for a few more additions


Note the stainless shifter plate with stainless lever but stock knob. I think that is the best looking combination.

I'm no fan of that steering wheel, but the seats and other stuff look good!

Fair enough, but the stick and plate compliment the metal finishes of the wheel;)
