Had to skip the FMIC weld since my skills with stick weld are poor and even poorer on aluminium.
Also this hell hole of a city doesnt have aluminium welder unless you pay 300€ which I wont pay for 20mins job.
I took of the old smic pipe that is under car and hammered the right side chassis bar inwards a bit and now I got the 76mm pipes fit inside of bumber, almost close enough to fit grills so the pipes dont show up so easy.
Left side we used 76mm alu pipe and got it to fit too! Still you would lose fogs if you had them.
I did last hosing for DV/N75 etc. and filled car with water. First and so far only leak was temp switch for fans, the gasket was broken.
I hope there wont be more leaks when I start to crank the car.
Im not happy with how DV was fitted and Im going to fix that soon but now I have to get the car running first since my "lease" on garage is ending soon.
Next is to hook battery up and flash ECU with tune appropiate for my setup. I get great help from a guy who lives in USA and made program for me and he is going to help me tune the car too over net! Im excited to study more about mapping the car, its been long time since I tuned megasquirt/vems etc.
I need to prime the engines oil pump, any tips? I know I have to pull the fuse for fuel pump but is it necessary to remove spark plugs?
Have you guys filled turbo first or just took oil hose off and crank until oil comes out?
Sorry no pics today. Will try take some tomorrow if anyone interested.
BTW I have to give huge huge huge thanks to my dad who is helping me
70 years old man who is in great shape, allthought he still lives in 70's. I have heard so many times now how great Fiat 127 car was and how ****** audi/vw engineers are to cram all in etc.
