Long term HJ ute rebuild project.

[cafiem]

Well, Lights are working.
I read somehwere here to make sure the ignition switch is set as far towards the steering wheel as possible and now the starter works so whoever posted that thank you.
I have power to the distributer when the key is on and none when it's not.
I even got the forced ventilation working.
The extractors are on and the fuel system is all ready.
So tomorrow is the big day with start up a possibility.

exciting, wish i was in your position

Got a bit carried away last night and forgot that I'd broken a spark pulg getting the extractors on.
Going to have a look at the car dump but start up will be posponed if I can't find one.

[cafiem]

One down, three to go.

Nice!

Have you painted your wheels in original colours and finish (satin) or have you used a gloss if so did you use any particular silver, thanks

[Valencia]

Imho they look so much better in gloss black i find it just sets off the sliver so much more but thats me.
they will look so good when finished great job.

sorry that meant to be silver

[cafiem]

Went the gloss for the same reason...I reckon it looks better. Also went a few coats of clear to try and protect them a bit.

Thanks for the comments by the way.
