    Got a bit more done over the weekend. Starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

    I moved the the radiator 9ver flow bottle forward because I could n9r get the air filter out damn it. I also had to move and remount the pump for the water to air IC which was in the way. NO pics.

    I installed the wiper washer bottle and the Battery!!! This is a big deal! We have power now!









    I bought the Paint on Saturday. Enough to do the car Twice for $200. This is the Shit guys. This is tough. The Comp Trucks are all painted in this paint.



    Cleaned u0 a little more wiring and then mounted the centre Console back in!! Lie the new high lid!!



    Also mounted the 600Amp Continuous isolation switch for the 24v. Stoked. It sits there perfect.





    Getting there. Here is the 2 Red Top Optima batteries for the 24v. One behi nd the passenger and the other under the fridge mount . Perfect fit.















    Next weekend I will drop the oil and give it a service. Fill the radiator and Intercooler and Start the Car!!! Can't wait.

    Getting there gents.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Serviced the GQ yesterday. Dropped the oil and replaced the oil filters and fuel filter. I gave everything a once over. Made sure there was nothing random laying amongst the engine bay.

    Today I turned the key and it cranked back into life like it was parked up yesterday. Not a puff of smoke. Went straight into idle and purred. I used the hand throttle to lift the idle to 2000rpm after it warmed for 10 minutes and bled the cooling system for 40 minutes.

    Very very happy.

    Getting there gents.

    Went for a drive with Lights last night and it out a bit of a fire as we did some challenging stuff just to get a feel for it. I was Navi in his 80 which has been parked for a while too. Had a great night.

    Well and truly getting there now gents. A few crappy jobs I have been putting off are now sorted.

    I have completed the wiring for the 24v and installed trhe excite circuit to trigger the 24v alternator through the ignition. Stoked.



















    I used the ignition source from the back of the cig plug for the 24v relay switch and replaced the cig plug with a dual 2.1amp USB plug for the win.

    I also fitted another twin 2.1 usb to the back of the console and a 24v Anderson plug to run the Engel on 24v cause I can.
