Had trouble last night trying to start the van, bloody injectors were blocked from sitting around for so long...
Guess when you dont really know the back ground of the motor any thing could be wrong....

Changed the injectors over tonight and first kick it started, bit smokey to start with but come clean and smooth... All Good...

Yesterday Finally Rodney and I felt like doing something in the sheds...we bought ourselves a 4 post hoist to fit two of our sandmans in one area, to leave more space for other projects. It did take all day to assemble, between reading the instructions to Rodney I cleaned off the blue steering column, in the ute, back to black, why someone would paint it bright blue is beyond me but now it is black again...we also did the stripes and blackouts last weekend, or rather the panel shop did them..

Ha ha that's the one.

[MENTION=771]V6HQUTE[/MENTION] and I spent Saturday putting in newer VZ Calais seats. Seats are in! And feel a lot better than the old Holden ones that felt like a primary school metal work class put them in.

Now the seats have all new stainless steel bolts in the original mounting holes. A lot safer than the old set up.

And them more importantly I leart how to cut hoops in the van ;)

Pictures to come when I can figure out how to do it on my mobile.

Did you have to modify the seats very much at all as i have a excellent pair of VX Calais seats sitting here?

What Agro said. Surely all the bolt holes didn't line up completely? Did you use the HZ rails or the VY ones.
