Decided to keep the V8.
I got the engine running sweet about 3 months back, a combination of rebuilding the dizzie, new stepper motor and kept the new MAF sensor on.
The ECU mate I bought off ebay has been great as I was able to 'tune' the stepper and got it ticking over perfect.
The MAF was registering with as fault on the ECU mate but I remeber reading on here that the ECU has to learn and register the new part so stuck with it and every day started the V8 and after 3 days I cleared the fault from the ECU mate and it has not registed again.
Fires up great every day
Sounds Great as there is no centre box.
OK whats next?
I have taken the sill covers off and the sills are'nt too bad, offside and N/S rear need plating and offide B post needs repair panel.
I suspected the rear floor needed some attention so today I took out the dicky seats, side covers and pulled the carpet and soundproofing out - this was soaking wet and the floor has been replaced in the past but only tack welded into place also some silly little patch welds - possibly the worst weding I have seen! pics will follow of how bad this is.
I know centre sunroof is leaking and suspect the rooflights.
Anyway started working on the beast again.
