A Street Sleeper is reborn! THE END

[procta]

Well after I got my arse out of bed, after been on nightshift. Me and my dad spent 4 hours on the car.
We tried to start it again after charging the battery, and it would just spin and spin and spin. We even tried shoving down some brake cleaner, like carter said and it didn't do anything.
We whipped out the spark plugs and gave them the old lighter trick, in case the car was flooding, Still f*ck all.
I said to my dad shall we test the spark plugs again, just to double check, No spark, on lead number 1, tried lead number 3 the same thing, no spark!
Which lead us to the coil pack again, This time I went under and unbolted it from the engine. I removed every f*cking lead and pushed them back on, and thought f*ck it I will swop the wires around again, to see if that made a difference,
Went and turned the key and the little bastard, FIRED INTO LIFE!!!!!!!   My dad nearly broke his neck running out, as he had went in to make a brew and have a think.
So what ever it was has been something with the coil pack, either a loose connection with the loom or something.
I had it running a little bit to get some charge back into the battery, but it decided to blow a hose, happened to be the one that I bought recently too!
So we electrical taped it up just to see if everything else was ok, any other leaks etc, and all seems fine.
The thing I have now, is that the throttle cable is on its last legs, and trying to find a new one is simply impossible,
Rimmerbros are fuckin useless, stating that they have it in, and when you come to buy it, the fucker is on back order! I might ring them up about that and complain about that.
I might have to fit a SPi one which is longer but it will do the trick no doubt.
Car just needs a good bleed, but I am not going to bother with that, until the replacement hose is sorted.
Tomorrow I am going to fit the coil pack again, and tie up a few odds and sods.
One major upgrade for you lads, and that's this,



 
I have another feature to wire into the car too, which will be another neat touch, This one is from an MG metro.
but at the moment we are just ironing out a few things,
Engine seems very happy, and there are no nasty clatters or bangs.
So we have done something right there, Coil pack side of things is a little worrying for that to cause some trouble.
I am looking at upgrading the starter and putting a new battery on, but that will have to wait.
Pissed off about the hose mind, as that was 50 quid OEM!
Got a few more ideas to come, while its off the road, but at least now it f*cking runs!
