have been pretty busy fitting time in to do some of this work between sleep and work but thought id post some quick updates

here is the car ill be jamming all the ba gear into nothing flash but it will do for now


fitting up the AC, had to do a bit of cutting to get it all right but the final result is pretty good


here are some views of how the new heater and AC piping meet the firewall, i will be touching up these holes a bit later. these pics are still in the fitting stage
they now sit firmly against the firewall


here is the plate that i cut from the ba and used to help mount the dash, you can see how the two shifters are significantly offset.

here is the dash in and bolted up now installing the wiring harnesses




im still waiting on my steering collumn as it got sold but i have worked out how to fit it up looks like everything will line up well

i have customised the eb brake box to leave room for the electronic accelrator

ba accelerator

does anyone know what this is exactly? i cant work it out?

sorry if this post is a bit rushed dont really have time to spent at the moment.

wow mate your doing some great work there .. i needa get mine done soon
btw that part is called a flux capacitor and it does nothing

pretty sure its the fuel cutoff reset button

hahaha flux capacitor!? isnt that a part from the back to the future car? if it is a fuel cutoff reset switch how should it be set? (when you shake it you can feel and hear something loose inside, if you press the button on the top it will click and then the thing shaking inside is then firm and dosent move.... the only way to loosen it up again it to open the cap and reset it with a screwdriver. should it be loose or pressed in and set tight??) cheers for the help guys.

try turning it upside down and see what happens. i've got NFI how they actually work.
they are for rollovers.
button just has to be pushed, pushing the button multiple times does nothing if it's already reset.

Looks good mate

ok sweet ill just press it in and leave it that way, it must have come loose from the impact of the smash!
Cheers!

Ok, so i have been slowing the pace down for the last few days due to being so busy and also not having a few critical parts. ive been preparing the engine bay now.
finished the k frame modification,
tidied up a bit.
installed all looms throughout the car now inlcuding rewiring the eb headlights into ba loom plus tail lights and fuel pump.. (Does anyone know if theres much difference to the ba and eb fuel pumps in terms of volume being pumped? i dont want to confuse the ECU or anything???)
installed ba under hood fuse box, coolant resivour, ecu, the complete airbox (very minor cover issues, easy fixed)
put in a new ef radiator... mite be a stupid question but the radiator has two threaded piping holes up the side for..... trans lines?? im unsure what to do with these as i already have the trans cooler installed (unless they pass through those points in the radiator..?) sadly i didnt pay good enough attention to this when pulling it apart so some info would be great help.
installed el thermos (very tight fit with ba intake but i avoided any modding)
ive ran half the AC lines and am waiting to get my hands on a ba condensor core. anyone got measurements on this??
Istalled wiper resivour bottle and lines
left hand door trim is done also. ill have to do some minor adjustments to the dash so it lines up with the trim a bit better.






sory some of the pics are dark i took them a bit late in the arvo ill post up some good ones asap.

Nice job so far matey.......

Cheers

once you finish how do you feel about writing a tech doco for everyone else?

that would be freeking awesome i'd love to to this to my fairlane
shiz hot work mate

i would love to write one up but im unsure how well i would do at constructing it, i would also have to spend a fair bit of time on it as im pretty busy at the moment, getting married soon so im all over the place for time.





cheers guys positive remarks do help
heres some more pics.
i have now sourced the ac condensor core and remaining lines, all installed now.
got all the oil for trans, engine, PS and coolant. rady for the engine tomorro.
scored the steering collumn for 200 so after some exstensive triple checking of wiring, plugs etc i will then be turning the key and giving you guys the verdict.






finally got the new timing cover, decided to scrap the idea of welding it back together! bit more degreaser and it will look nice.
stay tuned for the updates tomorro
Cheers

some pics of the steering collumn in, just need a deployed airbag and plastic surrounds...

yer, from what your are showing us it doesnt seem all that difficult but more time consuming than anything, once i have my ef on the road i may go buy another ed and attempt this, following your write up is going to be very helpful

Very good job there Matey, just like PlyBoi's ED. I saw his in Canberra last week at their AFD and it looked bloody nice, I am sure your's will also be a good job when Finished
