Fitting an inline temp sensor to get my temp gauge working and tidy up the engine wiring.

Buying one. Gosh cars are overpriced these days.

Drive it further than 2.6km. Oh and drive it on a gravel road for the first in years.

Start cleaning and bolting things back onto my motor, that I just got back from the rebuilders

.

Fit my ST205 brakes as I have everything needed to bolt them on

And take lots of photos

Wheel sanding, wheel sanding and more wheel sanding. Man it takes forever to do

Sort out alternator issues, fit exhaust manifold heat shield, check wastegate operation, fit wideband, go for a thrash and hope for boost to be stable.

Then run more boost while logging wideband read out

Hoping to get mine going. Been sitting in the shed for 2 weeks with no alternator after it started overcharging.

Didn't get the engine out :cry:

SPent about 4 hours getting the driveshafts out, i had never experienced super strut before but it is a bastard of a thing, couple that with the fact that the world strongest man seems to have done every nut on this car up with a breaker bar and it made for a very frustrating day.

Didn't put trim back in and wash one holden but fitted auto trans cooler to the other one,

Success

Was a little difficult as the smallest sensor housing i could find was 32mm and starlet radiator hoses are ~29mm.
Tidied up some of the wiring and attempted to connect up the fogs lights again but got distracted.
Also saw that i hadn't plugged in my horn after we disconnected it for the engine swap :oops:

Didn't source fitting for my wastegate so couldn't actually drive it

When I painted them I took off all the wheel weights so I have no idea how unbalanced they are...

It was good to meet you too.

Saying i need to get the cars ready for wedding duty i plan on refitting the back seat and trim in one holden, maybe give it a WOF too, re-secure/glue trim back in the other. A couple of 2 1/2" triple flow mufflers would be nice if i can get my hands on some to give one that deep v8 rumble again
