Not overly much to show at for the last little while, just been tinkering and tidying up little things as i havnt been feeling well enough to get really stuck into it much.
However, i did find a fuel banjo bolt off my 4AGE which fits so i could bolt up the fuel rail and try for a first start. But to my dismay the fuel pump wasnt running and the ECU wasnt turning on. So after a hell of a lot of wire tracing i found that there was a previous alarm install where they had cut wires underneath the fusebox to disable the car. After some soldering and heatshrinking all was good again, and i was able to start the car.
Engine runs ok, but the first time i started it i had forgotten to plug in the fuel return hose near the tank, so i poured half a litre of fuel on the ground :).
After fixing that we were good again to go, but then i foudn that one of the fuel filter copper washers didnt seat down properly and has become crimped and isnt sealing properly, so ill need to replace those.
But for all of that the car is running, and it feels like im on the home stretch now.
I picked up my radiator too, from having the thermofan sensor bung welded into the bottom tank:

Then i modified the AU falcon rad fans to fit the radiator, which included taking almost 10mm of shroud off the front so it would sit closer to the rad:

Apart from that ive done a bit more on the interior, fitting up my speakers and tidying up wiring. Also i have finished off the manualisation of the climate control, which ill write up a little thing on later for future reference. Not many pics there, there are only so many pics you can take of heatshrunk wires and testlights before it becomes deathly boring.
Really feels like im on the home stretch now, just need to get some wheel nuts, sort out the upper radiator hose, sort out the fuel filter line, refit the interior, and do a brake bleed and we are pretty good to head off to Regency.
