So I've been doing the school run for a couple weeks.

Lad is half and half. He says he likes it, but then complains its too small, too noisy, too bouncy ..... so perfect I guess

I somehow figured my fuel sender was borked. I threw 30l of premium in her when trying to start initially.

By the time I got her running the fuel level was empty (I thought hadn't moved) and the warning light on. I just assumed the sender was broken and I had heaps of fuel.

I've spent the last 2 weeks running around town and she finally ran out of juice yesterday. No biggy, we walked and grabbed some fuel.

But then with 15l in her, the sender level works and the light went off.

Looks like the original starting issues used a fucktone of fuel, and the hydramat I used in the tank works amazing at picking up fuel... lol.

Trying to come up with a cool/interesting way of doing speed and revs. Ideas ???

Also working through the little stuff. Replaced the tail light with absolute shitty knockoff. Spent 3 days sorting the debacle of wiring. One of the main reason I went with the radiator I did was to have easy cheap access to fans and shrouds etc from local model. The eBay guy fucked up and spent several days arguing.... in the end I just made it work :/

Sorted the big sump bolt (only bit under the crossmember ) and sorted the leak from the crush washer.

So fsr its all going pretty well. Suspension has settled so it about time to even everything up. Changed the brake pedal ratio back to stock and it firmed the pedal up nicely. Probably can do with some new softer pads for round town.... but its working how I wanted.
