a tip, replace the starter motor with a ba/bf one, a straight fit, much better and smaller..

Well, the EB has a little bit of BA in it now. I finally got motivated enough to install the above starter motor. After about 15 minutes and a good amount of cursing myself for doing up the bolts so damn tight, I extracted the offending unit.
You can see the size difference between the EB and the BA unit:  Tada!  The new one sounds a lot more refined than the old one. I guess that is to be expected with at least 10 years of development. And since I was under there, this is the CUSTOM exhaust hanger. It's basically the auto one cut and shut to fit up to the manual mount. I welded it up under the car with my Supercheap Auto stick welder. It's crude, but it works.  Cheers, Evan. |

I had it in the car just in case it decided not to work again. The bonnet is a bit. I have to do something so that mine doesn't look exactly the same as yours! My bonnet is currently sitting in the garage in primer. |

{USERNAME} wrote: I saw that sneaky trailer load of goodies you were towing along fitzwilliam today... Alright you caught me. I'll start at the beginning. Saturday morning, I went to Pick and Payless to look for a front left hand indicator. I found the best one I could and pulled it out. Then I saw a NA Fairlane. I was checking it out and thinking Ooo that was a nice car and then walked off. Literally a second later, I thought, wait a minute, Fairlane = MPEFI and that plus NA 'Lane = EA intake hose! And what luck, it was still there. I only paid $16 for the lot. After a cheese sandwich, I went around to BenJ's to pull the GHIA interior out of the poly green ED. This proved to be incredibly time consuming. Eventually, I got it all packed up and into my spare room. Nice lounge:   Ben and I discussed the possibility of bringing my car up to Ghia spec. He also showed me how to re-install the door lock snipper buttons properly, so that they go all the way down. Hopefully it won't be raining tomorrow. Then I can at least get the back seat in. I probably should get some leather conditioner first. I won't be changing the door trims until I source some electric window regulators. I don't want to put holes in the Ghia velour luxury. Cheers, Evan. |

It stopped raining long enough for me to insert the Ghia rear seat into the XR. The leather conditioner really did a good job softening up the hide.
So here is a sort of before and after.  And all done.  I am glad that I was good and used the snap lock bags to sort out all of the bolts, it made things go a lot quicker. Needless to say, I am very happy with the result. The other thing I am happy about is the EA intake hose. It has made such a difference. The car is so much more responsive. This made for some interesting driving in the wet. Breaking traction on roll on throttle and so on. If had a turbo car I'd probably kill myself Cheers, Evan. |
