I'm Back!!
Didn't think i would recover from that back injury. Took 3 months but I'm 90% there. So, its back to work on the lowrider wagon.
Here's the back of the dash stripped of wiring because its not going back in, and I want to wire the engine to start for the very first time after an extensive rebuild!

Here's the engine all wired up with the harness going into the car through the heavily modified firewall

Here's my instrument panel

So, tonight after more than 2 years and a full engine rebuild, blood, sweat and tears, I went for the start........And it fired first time!!! Sounds fantastic. Forgot how that V8 burbled away to itself. I know its only a 302, but its MY 302 and it works!
Timing adjusted and its as smooth as a babies bum!
Now, inbetween waiting for my back to recover, and needing a fix (and a possible profit) I bought these 2 foird fiesta zetec s cars

The first is heavily modified and may sell on for a small profit. The second is a reshelled write off that I will use as my everyday car.
Yeah, I know, the first one is a bit fast and furious for a 52 year old but I don't care!!
