What bits you looking at mate? 

[SAL 821X]

I think most of the cash will have to go on front panel, 2 gen wings and a new loom really.

 

I've been collecting some other parts on Minispares like engine/gearbox gaskets, nuts & bolts, water pump, oil filter housing, plastic clutch cylinder, temp transmitter, window seals stuff like that.

 

Ordered a load of stainless bolts for the engine on ebay this morning.

 

The rest I'll tuck away for once it's painted and I can buy some chromey bits. )

 

Then also need interior trims seats, carpet, harnesses and dials...

 

Still so much to buy..

I'm going for a new loom aswell! I wish I had the money's for it tho! Keep up the good work bud!

[SAL 821X]

Tell me about it Ryan! the loom in the van is chopped to pieces not worth trying to salvage it.

 

Out of the 4 listed on minispares I'm not even sure which one I need.

 

Other than that not sure what else to do I guess I could try to make one but that's just more time and I have little experience with wires.

Yeah i no that feeling i will have to do a new loom in mine as i have nothing with the car its my only option lol, hope u get those bits ordered up soon and we can have some more pics :)

[ryan22_lgm]

The loom I got with the van looks fine it's just not the right one I need! I need the mk1/2 type !

I will be getting it from autosparks.co.uk as they have more options than minispares and you can add things like alternator convertion !

Nice one just had a look at their website.

 

No reference to the price of a van loom though so guess you have to enquire.

 

*I've just noticed they are also not far from me in Nottingham.

HI Matt

 

I wish I had fitted a new loom but I did get everything working in the end, it didnt help where previous owners had cut into loom and twisted wires and covered in insulating tape for extra lights and googness knows what. After so much agro with indicators intermitant faults I had to bite the bullet and take to a professional to sort even then it went back twice.  I should of just bought a new loom and fitted after painting, (but the spend was going up and up and up oh and up lol) 

 

Must be nice to now be thinking of things other than cutting and welding panels?

 

Cheers

Garry
