the swearing- i mean work begins.

[v8falconsrule]

so it begins- i have started working on...well, ok, modding the sprint. first i yanked out the cruddy old tape player to make way for the kenwood headunit i had in the au. (I shouted the au to a nice new mp3 player). just gotta mod the mounting brackets and she's ready to go in. after re-soldering some of the speaker wires i now have 4 working speakers woohoo! : .

next up is the thermo fan upgrade, first i needed to remove the old clutch fan and shroud...well after much swearing and cursing, and a snapped file later i got the old fan out. as a bonus, i did find out what the dead rat smell was in the engine bay, funilly enough it was------- dead rats. looks like the engine had been started suddenly and two rats got caught up in the fan, sprint 2 - rats 0. the new fans really neaten up the front of the engine bay and means changing a drive belt will be so much easier.

so now i need to buy the wiring, fuses and bits and peices and she'll be good. i will get photos sometime soon, it was too dark by the time i finished on sunday. so that's the update for now.
