The end is in sight now!
In line with my 'Two Steps Forward and One Step Back' policy, I know see the fuel guage doesnt work anymore. I'll come back to that another time!
Steps forward this time include changing the stbd. aft suspension strut. The 'new' one came from a post 2003 car and now matches the one on the port side. The suspension at the back is now level.
The mirror caps and door handles are now painted in Aston Martin Tungsten Grey. Nice!
So, time for a step back. To get the handles back on access is required to the inside of the doors that I've already covered in can liner. So off it comes. Grrr!
Not as traumatic as I imagined and now the handles are on and the inside of the door covered again.
Next job is back to the brake bleeding. To do this you need to pressurise the brake fuid reservoir. This has proved difficult due to the limited space above te filler cap. I bought a pump up system and had to modify it to get it to fit which it eventually and reluctantly did. With the aid of the ODB reader I was able to bleed the ABS unit.
Time for another test drive. Up to Caerphilly Mountain and back to give the brakes a bit of a go.The whole thing is quite rattley but went OK apart from the tracking is obviously miles out and the front wheels seemed loose on the hubs! A lot of stuff still works though so not all bad!
Great build! Can you please post some photo's of the jet propulsion? Also, if possible space under the front bonnet? Thank you in advance, Tony K
