the no dosh LJ revamp

Looks epic bud! Keep up the great work

Cheers lads. Going to tackle the bodywork next....

The stickers arrived today from Procomp, very kind of them to do that. I see the postage was $1.15, about 80p. So how come some Ebay sellers in the US charge over $20 to send exactly the same size envelope then? Gits...

More problems. Been using the LJ for the last 2 months with no issues at all. Tonight I parked in the garage, badly. So went to start her again and 'click'. But this is a different click. It's bloody loud and when I turn the key the volt meter goes from 12 to 0 almost instantly. On the drive home I did spot the volts dropping a lot when I braked, from 14.5 to maybe 12. Any ideas? Alternator maybe?

Bought home a long wheel spindle and tapped the starter solenoid. She started right away. So is this the culprit? I looked on ebay and they are available seperately, maybe I need to try that?

Any chance of a close up photo of the centre console so as to see what's under the dash there, where the light is ?
Couldn't quite see it on page 40.
Why couldn't you keep the stereo in the stock location, mount the CB underneath & do a drop panel for the all your switches ? So everything is at arms reach (cos the LJ is so wide)

I'll get you a pic if I remember but under the light is the heater. I say 'heater'....

A pic...

Got too love the light, i honestly thought the one in mine had been put in by one of its owners

I thought the same thing Robbie! Looks like it was found in a dusty corner of a shed and nailed on lol.

So, the starting issues....she's fine. Runs as normal though I am carrying that wheel spindle if she needs a tap again. Twiss said check the wiring and I will...again. To be honest I think the entire car needs rewiring but that is way beyond my skills and too expensive to farm out so for now I'll live with it!
