I bought an old series 2 bulkhead to rebuild to eventually replace mine. The top section, the centre firewall were the only decent bits left on it but for £25 was not complaining.
Got new foot wells and door pillars but the dash part was Swiss cheese, only good bit is the top edge fascia so I decided to make a new one from scratch.
Taking a while, and only have a garage with usual home mechanic tools. My folding machine is a bench vice, two long pieces of thick angle iron in the jaws to increase length and hammers!
Having fun and satisfying when it all works out
Still to do n/s foot well and pillar and also to lengthen the centre to fit around the v8

Did some research on the pump I need, 30-38psi with a 36psi pump being the sweet spot
Also reckon I might be able to get the new V8 in this weekend, planning on taking off the loose bits like water pump, rocker covers, dizzy, manifold, starter and remove gearbox bolts then yank it out on saturday with rob, if we're quick enough should be able to drop the new one in too might not be able to get it all wired up but should at least be able to drop it onto the engine mounts

Made up a new rear headlining from some 3mm foam & speaker box carpet/felt. Looks pretty good! No more condensation in the back now
Fitted a heater in the back ready to be wired up to my new dash.
Gave it a dirty great kick because the handbreak cable is the earth now...

Stops the fuel becoming aerated upon return
Its coming back into the main tank at 30psi or more, most EFI tanks will have one built in but because I'm using a carb tank mine wont so essentially you just need a second tank, one for high pressure fuel which allows it to cool and is then pumped into a second tank under low pressure before going to the engine

The steering is bent too so probably a write of

Well, Once received my paddocks order.
I fitted my ss mid silencer replacement pipe, It sounds much better.
But will sound even better once i get the S**t standard back box of and replace it with a straight though pipe.
Also sanded down and painted front and rear radius arms and panhard rod ready for my new bushes to go in. ( Only genuine
