Thought I would start here as today saw the 'offical' start of the Cossy conversion!

Done today,removed prop,tank,engine and cleaned the bay up a bit for painting.

The pics!:cool:

Soon ready for a trial fit of this,all decatted an' everything!

I was hoping the Scorpio sender was going to fit my tank but no!-the sender resistance was wrong and the flange to big,so I came up with this 'hybrid'-my sender with the Scorp' pump fitted,sorted!

Watch this space.....................................(again! LOL!)

Working to a timescale here guys!! LOL!-might not move for a month or so but at least it'll be done!:wack:

Well today I attempted the wiring!-don't look like I got much done but all day and managed to get starter,alternator,main earths etc in.

tomorrow I have just got to wire in the fuel pump relay and clip everything up,should have seen her running tomorrow but some dope forgot to order a fuel filter!:wack:

Getting there............

 

Nice one Daz and good work, that'll be one quick MOFO of a Tranny, but if it were me I would have mounted the ECU (if that is what it is on the bulkhead) the other way up, stop water getting into the cables and connector ;)

It IS the ECU mate and I also would like it around the other way but seeing as it says 'this way up' That's how it ended up! Was going to put it in the cab but meant extending the loom/more work,so will probably make a rubber cover for it!:cool:
