Hey mate, I am pretty sure those are compomotives and not hotwires, hotwires have a more flat face and more dish, they look more like a 2/3pc wheel. Correct me if I am wrong fellas

These are Hotwires



But yeah, those compomotives are very sexy

Some more progress over the weekend

OK Guys so I now have sound in my car



So after looking at the wiring of the car it seems that I can tell that there have been a few decks that have been in here before. So we cut out the old wires that weren't needed and then jimmied ours in.





Great sound and the front speakers were still working really well, so now I have got 4 speakers blaring which is quite loud. Too this I have to say don't knock SANSUI!

Also got around to finally changing the leads and distributor cap aswell.





I needed the top connector part of the old wire and changed it.




And also started ripping the old AC wires that weren't needed.



At the radiator side it was piggybacked.



Carnage!

Also some better accident shots.

And then yesterday cause curiosity killed the cat!









No fantastic photos of the dyno plot I just did a quick phone pic.

Shes a little down on power and its running lean as in as soon as it gets to about 4900 rpms it leans out way to much to were the engine is choking for petrol so it only managed a whoping 45.5kwatw! Not sure what it is but a good tune is in order and go from there! However will wait for the car to come out of the panelbeaters till I do that.

And to top off a post a little of this:
