Hey just a small update have stripped out dash, going to sort wring out so new fuse box  relays for lights and twin fans with an adjustable switch, getting dash, door handles, console, kick panels etc dyed a light tan colour so it’s all the same and not two tone

going to put a vh-vk heater and maybe air con unit in as I think when the l98 goes in it will hit, a bit a pissing around but doable, found a push bottom switch under dash any one know what it’s for in the last two photos

I’m pretty certain that they are circuit breakers.

One is for power windows the other for central locking. When there is a power surge or someone holds down the electric window switches for a long time it pops out stopping power going to the switch so it doesn’t melt.

The other will pop out if there is something wrong with your central locking.

Hey all small update out with the 350 auto and in with the six speed, have made a new cross member for the t56 as well and got the radiator and fans sorted ,, found a good score two weeks ago a new rear end panel never been on a car

[SLE355Participant View build HERE Member since: April 7, 2015 Posts: 119]

Awesome build mate, are they Wilwood’s in the pics?

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

Hey SLE355  no I haven’t received the wilwoods yet should be this week them I can get them mounted and put front end back together

[Judge1 FrazerParticipant new zealand1983 VB LSA MG9 6060 6 speed View build HERE Member since: February 5, 2016 Posts: 775]

Hi all  have put front end all back together still waiting on the wilwoods   had a slight issue with sway bar it’s too thick for the link bar so will have shave some off the bushes , got a brand new power steering rack as well just got to sort a pump but one that can be use on the lsa later , one piece drive shaft all done ,plan over the break is to get the rear panelling done so unstitch the tail light rear and put a new one on and finish the boot floor

Have changed plans slightly so next year going to strip paint off whole car, put on a rotisserie do all the fab work mini tubs, rust, will be getting a drop tank made with the filler out the rear between tail lights and use a hq or torana number plate hinge plate, 3″ v bands for exhaust

also thinking about hand brake and found a photo of a small rotor of the drive shaft with a mechanical calliper  pictures below

pictures of motor it’s been apart still looks good  also the rear panel
