Not much happening with this thing. I steam cleaned the carpets and seats which came up well. Also spent the weekend getting the paint up to a decent standard. I gt a little lazy and didn't flatten the paint as well as I probably should have before I started so there is still some orange peel on the doors and such but not biggy. Have been driving it every day to work and it is running well. Hoping to start the engine swap on the long weekend.

Righto, managed to carve out a little bit of time to work on this today. The PWR intercooler from the 86 was not going to fit the 70 very well so I started looking around for a reasonably priced replacement. Picked up a bar and plate cooler on the cheap because they had the end tanks welded on incorrectly so they are offset rather than on the same side. This setup works better for me anyway. They were 3" ends though so bigger than I would have liked but I go there in the end.
I have used the intercooler itself as a structural component to tie in the bonnet latch to keep it secure. I also did a quick cut and shut on the bracket for the grill. Everything goes back in nicely and is secure as ever. The plan will be to do the fuel system next and pull the running gear out of the 86 so that it is ready to go when I get the time.
Cheers
Paul
The poor old 4KC must be looking at your mods and the cooler and thinking ----- what the hell is this guy doing next ???????????????

Have been doing a little more to this. I repaired the drivers seat when I got the car but the kids jumping on it killed it pretty quick. I have been keeping an eye out for an ADR compliance seat to pop in as a replacement. I managed to pick up an Drift seat (they were sold through Autobarn) for $80 thanks to Ben at Import Parts Canberra. I modified the existing mounts and popped it in. It seems to fit ok and is certainly a better setup than the old one. I have been trialing a couple of different options for surge tanks and I have made up a design that I like out of mild steel to test fit which I will get done in alloy soon. I will chuck some photos up when I am done.
Cheers

Righto so got the surge tank back today. Just because I have to be a little different I didn't want it in the boot and the under car ones that go next to the fuel tank never look quite right. So I had this made up to sit in the hollow in the floor under the rear passenger seat. The fittings line up with the existing fuel lines so I can use them for the return line to the tank. I just need to run the new 3/8" line from the 044 to the fuel rail.
