Shanes WIP

Hello People

Just thought i would add what i'm working on, just copied and pasted from another forum (to lazy to type it all out again :embarrest

I bought the GTO Twin Tubby a couple of weeks ago with the intention of fix and sell, but after just having a drive and the misses telling me to keep it as a toy, how could i resist.

This is how i bought it:

And these are the problems i'm facing that i have found so far:
This has just been sort out

While i was doing the belts i found this:

I still have to drill out this pin for the crank pulley:

Once i've got these bits sorted its going in for an MOT and then the modding than begin :mrgreen:

Also the SRS light is on, its stuck in Sports mode, and the thrust bearing sounds like it needs sorting

Re: Shanes WIP Part 3

Part 3
Just an update, i spent most of the day fitting the gauges and head unit, the gauges still have to be wired up, which leads on to my next question: can the oil pressure and coolant temp be wired into the original sensors, if so which wires is it, i know the boost has to be done seperatly
Oh and repairing the drivers seat

Onto the pix:

P.s fitting the gauges is a pig of a job, if any 1 ever asks me to do the job for them i would have to kindly tell them to go fourth and multiply
