Sorry dude lol, that was sold to a friend ages ago, and then the car was sold to a guy in Sydney. It's a white 4 door with Simmons mesh.

Oh damn... Ohwell! I'll have to continue on my 6 point plans I had

[GeorgeMK1]

Just curious if anyone knows a way around using a cable speed sensor for the mk1/2/3 8v gearboxes. Doing some more welding in the bay and questioning whether or not I should weld up the hole. Is there anyway to do it electrically?

Thanks!

Ps. The engine bay is getting much closer, spoke to a panel beater friend and got pushed in the right direction for painting and filler etc. getting eager.

Does jaycar sell something?

George just tuck it under the firewall and pull it back up, unless your going to run and rpm guage and tacho

Mk3 boxs have output sensors

Got a fair bit of work done in the past few days. Won't mention it all. Picked up a mk3 wiper motor thanks to Lawrence (stu's old mk3 vr6 cabby) and went about making it fit. I re drilled new holes and spun it round, as I want it tucked away as much as possible.


Started off drilling the holes after careful measurement. Just took a pic to those who say they don't have the skills or tools to do anything on their own - $99 drill from Aldi, works sooooo good for the money I paid a few days ago. Just couldn't resist. I think they are still on sale!!




Then welded it all and filler it up and ground it down again. Will get it perfect when powder coating all the bits.




After plenty of test, fab, test, fab, test, fab fit weld cut I have managed to make my ghetto bracket. Holds the motor quite nicely, and is tucked away from site!




Got my mark and welded a small nut to the fire wall.this will be where the bracket is mounted to






And here is the final result. Can't see any part of the motor or bracket, and yet it's still nice and sturdy. May not be the most fanciest brackets etc to some of the high end builds, but it will do




Also started working on the new gas pedal. The rear of the car has had holes welded in, and I'll be doing more shaving there too. X brace will be re made and will look nuts when done! Stay tuned for thst.

Does turning the motor around change the sweep of the wipers? i.e. when you put the arm back on will it foul the scuttle or braket?

I haven't tested it to be honest Bryce, but it's just like a gyro system. It has a balljoint/pillar so it will spin no matter where the motors is.

Also the angle hasn't been changed of the wiper mechanism so there will be no hitting on the scuttle.

nice work George!!

mk3 wiper motor is on my list of things to do too!

Good work george

p.s. pretty sure you can't PC over filler be worth double checking mate.

Hey j-man, it's ok dude, I've welded it a bit chunky so I can smoth it down to the same level if thst makes sense? Just cbf at this stage

[Jarred]

ah yea, I thought you had used filler (bog) for some reason, all good

[Dubstein]

Awesome work dude, just read through the whole thread. You have given me some inspiration indeed!

[Mk1@4Motion]

I bought a Nevada ARC/MIG/TIG/MMA welder for $369 and should be here friday to start my fab work on mine.

On another note, love how you try and do everything yourself. Respect for doing that. And for me personally, thats the only way you are going to learn how to do everything.
