These where factory conversions for the police . So rust removal & a bit of new paint in the area got the new windscreen in . Next problem starting her - cleaned out the fuel tank from the top the filter sock on the electronic pump has disintegrated into the tank, got a replacement & new in line filter might fill the tank disconnect the old inline filter & run the old electric pump with new filter sock to flush out the left over debris already wiped it out a couple of times . Had a problem trying to start it last time it got moved 2 yrs ago so I figure a new battery & starter relay might be a good start . The blokes have been sitting around drinking beer giving me all the good oil as I do the work , well it is my car & they're all past working on other people's cars & im learning a lot so it's cool , these forums are a great source of knowledge. My question for the moment is where does the starter relay go , which one is it ? & are there 2 . What else could I do to give me a good chance of hearing that motor when I turn the key ? Besides top up all the fluids & reprogram the bem I know that will be a Pia . All advic gratefully recieved
