    that's really cool, surprised there's not more of this type of "aftermarket stereo" stuff made..  

     

    I struggled to find anything decent. I am a draftsman by trade so not a hard task to create something, Resiplex in Geelong profile cut the pieces for me and I glued them together.

    Nice! I'll have to ask you about your curtains and see if I can get them working correctly on my XH..... 😉

    Curtains I bought from the reject shop hanging through the top hoop by the wire and hooks, at the top. I have hooked up the same wire at the bottom and fed the curtains through so they wrap around top and bottom wires about 3 times.

    Yeah I'm still having trouble starting on cold days. Battery is good but needs a jump to fire. Will start straight away with temperatures over 10 degrees.Got to get the old gas wiring removed as I have removed all the mechanical parts of the system. Starter motor will be next to replace. Not much left it will almost be a new van after that 😂

    So on the last weekend I had to replace the fuel pump as the pressure was poor, found out due to the cars previous history of 9 years sitting the wiring in the fuel pump in the tank had disintegrated to a point the wires were almost bare and once i replaced the pump and wires it now runs well.

    I still have starting issues on cold mornings though.

    Update 

    I replaced the O2 Sensor was the original one still in it

    Replaced the coil.

    Had a mechanic friend come over and pull out the distributor and place it back in its correct location approximately 1 tooth out. Runs a lot better now, but I will need a new harmonic balancer as the old one is wobbly and we cannot get the timing perfect.

    Gday good folks

     

    I disconnected my battery and took it out so I could take the bottom radiator hose off to do a coolant change and replace the hose. Ever since i put it back on the van backfires through the airbox and at 80km/hr dies then takes off alot.

    I have checked the map sensor as per instructions on here 

    also replaced inline fuel filter which was dirty.

    I have new plugs, leads, dizzy cap and rotor button on it.

     

    What else should i look at?
