Got the engine swapped in but still hasn't run in the car yet.
Car's been getting a full 3" exhaust installed which took a month...anyway I got the car back today. Fitted the oil cooler which had a thread repaired. Turbo isn't quite fitting and I can't get the bottom rear nut on the exhaust manifold on...but other than that making some progress.
Going to leave the intercooler off until after I get it road legal again. Need the room to try fit my landcruiser air filter housing in. She's also got some rust that needs sorting yet.
My current radiator has the plastic tanks (ugh) and had a run in with the fan at one stage which meant some tubes had to be soldered up. Also it's not the wider "turbo" radiator... not wanting to risk cooking the girl, looking at fitting a universal aluminium radiator in since nobody has the Spectra Cu672 in stock.
Any chance of getting the thread renamed? HX30W isn't really a baby now..
1978 300D, 373,000km... OM617.912 with a Holset HX30W, 7.5mm IP, 711.113 5 speed (project car, 7 years off the road and counting ;/)
1977 250 270,000km (parts car)
1977 300D (ex 280) 500,000km
1981 240D 498,000
1975 HJ45 ???,000
2001 2.8TD Rodeo 4x2 - 456,000 - DD
Progress report?
