Yeah, I've seen that before in someones signature

Yey!  I got more done today      

Got the MR2 motor out.  I've said it before and will no doubt say it many more times...  I love working on Toyotas. 

Another bit of good news is that I found the TDI engine is 3 inches shorter than the MR2 engine so there's plenty of room





Having had a good look at the two, I think I've now got a design in my head for how to make the toyota engine mounts fit the TDI engine. 

More to come.

Looking good!

I hope that's a very substantial beam it appears to be hanging from.

Yeah, I've got it across 4 beams but it still scares me a little. I put my fears to bed by hanging off it aswell

If it can take me and the car it should be fine with just the car

I took a day off today and was in the garage all day   It was like old times, a pig in s***    

I made another 150L of bio diesel.  I stripped the Toyota engine loom in an attempt to understanding it and see if I could get the engine bay fan to work in the absence of the engine (I couldn't).  So the engine loom now consists of just the reverse light wiring

Then stripped the loom to the dials and have identified what I need to make the following warning lights work: main beam, fog lights, handbrake, doors open, and indicators.  Then took it to pieces and was delighted to find that the VAG dials will fit in the gap where the Toyota dials used to reside.  Result! 

As well as that, I've done my usual looking at it for ages and figuring things out, got lots of ideas in my head now.  What a great day!




More to come

OOops wrong place, and I've only just realised.
