This is the LPG Injection Kit we are referring to. Snap has had it installed for a few months now and it is going well.

Im not a fan of gas, ( I hate it ) but that looks like a good kit, I saw one on a BA some time back and when driving it you would not know it was on gas,,,, this kit seems to be a very very good price too

Long time, nothing happening on the beast. She has been ticking along for a while now in a partly finished state.

This Friday I will be swapping out my dash for a non-PAB XR6 unit to finally rid the car of all airbag related parts. While the dash is out I will attend to a couple of issues, like the air con fan not working and the wiper delay being missing. I am hoping the fan issue is just a speed controller, the wiper delay needs a wire from the loom plug to the stalk, one of the old airbag wires will be rerouted for that purpose. I am also hoping to install a small socket in the dash to supply power to a future nav unit, hate the cig lighter plug and have seen snap's implementation so I am stealing the idea. The PAB dash already has a good home to go to so that will be one less thing to move when we finally leave this place.

While I have the dash out I may also finish up some of the other wiring I need to do so I can finally button up the interior plastics that have been missing for over a year. There are a couple of other additions I want to make to the interior, the parts for that are slowly coming together.

The engine will be receiving a little attention soon too, more on that when it happens. I need to swap the cats between mine & Rach's car to fully satisfy one of the additions. I am tossing up whether to install LPG in the coming weeks or to put it all in Rachs. Still deciding that one.

Another addition due soon will be a 5 speed, I am well on the way to having everything I need. The box will be coming down from QLD when I have somewhere to put it. Still a few parts to collect as the budget allows.

Not much else to update, will revive this thread when I get going again...

Cheers
RD

Geez, 3 months and I am forgotten :)

I like snap's one so will probably copy that, puts the connector over on the left for a nice short cable from the nav unit....

Ahhhh! Me like that, a little easier to accomplish than drilling and fitting to the dash itself. Consider that idea stolen :)

Car is all ready for the dash swap now. The XR6 dash has been stripped of it's wiring and the bits that I can take out that don't affect the operation of the car have been removed from the ED. I even took the carpet out so I can *finally* get the door ajar wiring done.

Later this avo I will pull the door cards off so I have a clear path and so I am motivated to do something about it. Dunno if I will get to the rear door and fuel filler in the time I have but we'll see. I have to pull the left hand rear plastics off to get at the fuel door wiring and I am remembering what a PITA that was to put in! While I have the door cards off, I'll wire everything up for the lights that go into them, may have to bug poor ole snap on the right way to do it :) Still, my goal is to have everything wired or at least preparatory wired so I can put most of the plastics back together and only have to finish off the doors. I only have 2 of the ghia door lights (and they are cappa!) so I couldn't finish them off anyway.

On to tomorrow!

Cheers
RD
