Great hardware store! They look better than the originals...

Thanks. I'm sure they will explode the moment an electron passes through them.

YAY. Our pictures are back!

We had all our early pictures hosted on some servers that went away. Now we have them hosted more securely and have replaced all the broken links. As a bonus you can also see full size images for this and all our other builds here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/team_illuminata/albums

Feels like we are very close. Also feels like winter is approaching. Better get cracking.

Started cleaning the fuel injection system. Decided not to dismantle it and just leave well alone.

There really isn't much left to do. At least to get it running:

CRANK BOLT
THROTTLE BODY
WIRING ISSUES
SPARK PLUGS
TRANS FLUID

Then once it works:
COOLANT
REAR BRAKE LINE
BLEED BRAKES, CLUTCH
PS STEERING FLUID
WIPERS
BUMPER
HEADLIGHT
INJECTOR BLOWER
TIGHTEN CONTROL ARMS
ADJUST SHIFT LINKAGE
ALIGNMENT
DETAIL

Then we put it away for the winter.

So, assembly continues as we edge nearer to the momentous day when it drives itself off the hoist, hopefully down the road and not into winter storage.

Got the throttle body cleaned, adjusted and back on.

Then had to fix the inlet air temperature sensor.
