    BUMP!!! Andy, we miss you!!!

    Comment


      Hi all.
      Sorry for the serious interruption to this thread!
      Kids, elderly (95 year old) Mum who is causing big problems, gone part time teaching, opened my own restoration business, bought and fitted out a workshop, 2 full time restorations on for customers (84 trans am and 85 country squire!), bought my 1991 camaro back after 9 years away, megasquirting that, and,.........well my poor custom squire gets left behind!

      Well I have started this again. Haven't fired my brand new rebuilt engine up for over a year, so its time for a wire up again. Not easy when the body is separate from the chassis, suspended up in the roof of the garage still.

      Heres the fuel pump wiring connected



      Heres a few photos of the bare metal underside after over a year exposed to the UK air







      Going to get this engine fired up tomorrow, then get some of the underside prepped for its green epoxy paint which I have already waiting!

      Really sorry for the interlude, but sometimes life gets in the way!! Hope I can remember how it all goes back together....

      And, I still really want to make it into a 2 door!!

      Andy.

              Welcome back. Way to go on getting your own restoration business going. Looking forward to the completed pics that will no doubt be used as advertising for new customers.

                            And thats one of the reasons I hate neighbors, always bitching or concerned about that which should not concern them.
