(11-30-2014, 07:57 AM)pryantcc It's been a long time since I did a proper update. Progress has been slow but there has been progress. I've been doing a lot of wiring and its almost complete now. I built a circuit to replicate some of the essential stuff. It's basically 2 relays, 1 for ECU power and 1 for switching the starter solenoid, and a few fuses for power running to various sensors, etc. I have also mounted the ECU under the dash and run the wiring through the firewall to connect to it. It's not beautiful, but works well and isn't visible without some contortionism to get feet up on the seat and head down into the passenger footwell.

I have also started to strip the interior and I'm glad I did. I found a big hole in the inner sill which was fibreglassed over. Repair should be easy enough given the simple shapes. The outer sills are new.

I also took the bitumen coating off the passenger floors and found a few bits that need patching. Nothing structural nor particularly serious.

The donor car went to the big car graveyard in the sky today. The first and only time this project will ever give me money I got a puncture in the pick-up (screw through the tire) for my troubles.

So, is it running now? I was wondering how the clutch is standing up to it. I am using a Sprinter SMF with a performance lining and it is failing after 3500 miles. Probably due to 400+ ft.lb torque with nos in OM611 engine. I cannot find a clutch to take it.
