well it didn't all happen Sunday arv. I had an RDO yesterday and spent the afternoon finishing it off. Even got it fired up for the first time in well over a year! It was really novel to be able to move this car under its own power again... then it died... the wiring for the crank angle sensor was sitting on the exhaust manifold and burnt through. Its a weird co-axial type of cable - just to make life interesting!
the paintjob came up alright. its certainly no show car, but its OK. Its just going to be a fun little road car - the Patrol isn't all that inspiring on the road - off road is a different story!
Just needs a set of tyres, some wiring to fix and a CV boot and it should be ready to register.
