Aside from health and Rach's duathlon stuff, I am losing motivation on anything car at the moment - too much over an extended period. Probably (maybe) just have enough to finish this one off then it will be break time... Cheers RD

Well, tried to do a bit more to the ole EF.....
Underside bogging not going well as I have no idea what the hell I am doing. Frustrated with that, I decided to have another go at fitting the EF tailshaft to the ED box but still no luck there. I'll wack the EB's one in when it is time for blue slip. Having been defeated by those two items, I decided to see why the rear windows wouldn't play ball. After a frustrating hour or so, I was unable to revive the LH rear door window motor enough so a replacement is needed. The LH front door motor makes grinding noises as it raises and lowers so will need another one for there too. I'll be posting a wanted ad for a set but if anyone has some EF/EL/E? power window motors for sale, preferably in NSW, please put your hand up - I need to get this car out of the damn driveway and blue skipped in the next week.... Cheers RD

I am so bloody close with this I can taste it
 The under bonnet rust is painted albeit in not exactly the same colour. The bonnet is back on. The interior is back together. All the under guard splash guards are back in. The rear passenger window motor (a temporary replacement) is in and the window goes up and down.Today I took the Turboblades off the EB and fitted 14" bogan wheels, thinking that I would put the TB's on the EF. Stupid me forgot about the wheelnuts bottoming out before the wheels got tight so that went by the boards. So I fit a pair of Mont wheels and remove the standard 15's that were on it and drag them and 2 turboblades down to the tyre go to get them swapped over. So now the EF Mont will have stock 15" rims with EL Futura trims, that is when I find another 12 wheel nuts! If I can't locate them in time I do have an alternative plan but I can tell you I am getting sick off swapping wheels over one at a time  Anyway, my to-do list is getting smaller: Swap driveshafts between the EF and the EB. The EF currently has an old stuffed EB shaft in it due to the original EF one not fitting into the installed ED box. Finish the sill plate repairs underneath. I bought a can of Septone Body Deadener (just hope it is the right think 'cause it cost $26.00 for 1l!!!) to do the final cover up so this bit *should* be finished tomorrow. Find 2 of the push clips for the under guard stone guards, need the big suckers. May actually have a couple somewhere, just have to find them. Finish up replacing the front LH window motor, 1/2 done tonight before I ran out of light. Refit the under radiator stone guard. Find 12 standard wheel nuts. I am hoping (with everything crossed) that I have tie this all up tomorrow and get the car booked in for either Thursday or Friday for it's blue slip. Thats it for now....

Thanks guys, it is finally getting there.
Motivation is coming from two quarters.... one, I want my car back and two, the EB is slowly falling apart With wheel nuts, thanks again but I am planning on taking all but 2 nuts off each wheel on the EB and putting them onto the EF for blue slip. The EB will just be sitting in the driveway anyway if all goes well.....

Bloody fraken hell..... now the bloody thing will not fire. Battery went flat yesterday and I charged it over night. Just put it back in to do the window and now, nothing, zip, bugger all. Winds over and doesn't fire. Trip computer and CC unit not lighting up when ignition is turned on. Trip computer still does it's bloody annoying beep due to low fuel (80KM's) so I can't hear if the fuel pump is priming. Yes it has fuel enough to drive, about 1/8 of a tank. Fired perfectly yesterday to drive it up on ramps. Totally poissing me off now, bloody typical since I booked it in......

MOre info....
CRT LP fuse is fine, interior light is fine. Not right is the mileage display, it's real dim and can hardly see it. Goes along with the trip and CC display. To me this indicates some sort of short or something but I haven't touched anything electrical aside from the power window motors. Yesterday it fired fine after I replaced the rear door motor. NOte that this is totally out of the blue. With the battery, it was fired on a charged battery, I just took it out yesterday to top it up Driving me nuts, words just can't express........

I am now thinking BEM..... the BEM controls the CC and trip doesn't it? What else does it control? Rear demist works, hazards work, lights work, interior lights work, door locks work, windows work, trip does annoying beep, smart lock flashes like normal....... I am at a loss.....
