Red is correct!. MK60 and MK60E1 are pretty well plug and play with these cars, I expected it to be far more complicated. The AIM worked perfect for the abs light and for the ground control for the brake switch using no external relays or resistors for either, canbus protocol with the aim and mk60 is spot on, haltech functions perfect with the direct wheel speed outputs on the mk60 as well. Overall, very pleased.

Do you do this, or similar work professionally? I am truly amazed at your craftsmanship.

This is high art.

Thanks Ultra, I appreciate that. Yes, but I use the word professionally loosely

Thats also why my personal projects are always behind.

Some more progression!

My ring filer broke so I had to wait for a new one, but all is well again. Waiting for a few odds and ends to show up but were close now!

My philosophy for personal projects is that without a schedule, one can never be behind it. Each step is its own project to be completed with care. That's what I sense from your work. Nothing I've done comes anywhere close to the scope of your project here. Respect.

So close! should be starting it in a day or two. Would have fired it up sunday but someone stepped on my timing light and ripped the cord out of the end

new one arrived yesterday.

Diff pump primed perfect, no leaks and appears to be happy at 3 quarts total. Trans is full and awaiting to be ran, holds 4 quarts but i'm betting were at 5.5 with the cooler assembly. Engine spins over smoothly and makes 51 psi on the starter, no leaks anywhere which made me extremely happy. Just need to set base timing and were ready!

She lives! Still need to sort some things and get the windows in this week but over all she is pretty well done. Still deciding on livery/numbers.
