  1. So with all that done it was time for WOF 

    Well driving it there I was super nervous as it had no reg or Wof or insurance

    first long drive for me and the car since getting it going was about 10ks to garage for inspection so I got a small toolbox packed up and a fire extinguisher just in case and this was the out come

    anyhow last time I wrote on here I had replaced the rear shocks so since then have pulled out the fronts and replaced them also did bottom arms and painted all under the guards looks a lot tidier

  3. I’ve followed this build and am especially interested in your K jetronic build on the fuel injection in fact I’ve rebuilt my warm up regulator and fuel distributor with kits I’ve brought off eBay ….. now I’m at that stage where I need to tune it and because you have done such a wonderful job of explaining it I’m keen to follow that .now my next question is if you have the time could you contact me to discuss further thanks Maurice. (Hope this is allowed I’m in Nelson)

  4. Well it’s been a couple of months I’ve been chasing some wiring gremlins currently have the bottom of dash all pulled out ,I had the car running during lock down and found I couldn’t turn it off , I could turn ignition off and pull key out and it would still run which is not good .

    i still haven’t found the problem but I think it has something to do with the burnt out blinker stem which is connected to the hazard lights which continually go all the time now even when key is out …so on the lookout for mk1 Sierra blinker unit.

    I’ve put small bits and pieces back on like left wing mirror guard blinker light foot panels , rear wiper motor and electric aerial etc nothing exciting, but still things adding to get it on the road again.

    ive taken advantage of COVID and got the car registered with out having a WOF …. Thanks Jacinda
