Filling the radiator with the believe that we will be able to complete the water affair today.
Damn...! ani..! angkat kain jemuran...! hujan dah turun...!
Immediately we realised that the thermostat gasket was pissing water like nobody's business. Also the cut metal water line which "the boss mech" overlooked to weld. :/
water flowing from through the thermostat's gasket.
What to do, just remove the radiator fan to initiate repair work..
The easiest of the lot.. thermostat gasket repair is a relatively easy job... adik stopped the leakage in no time. But then we realised that there is a little drip falling from the underneath of the waterpump. Crap!
The date was 28 June 09. The crank-day looming but seems like it managed to elude us again. hehe. I and adik started tighten up water hoses clip at around noon with the believe that we can proceed with the final job before crank : filling the fuel tank. But we guessed wrong. This story comes in three parts. So, enjoy guys... waaaaaaaaaaaaa! hehehe

hi there. (ili@myplace.net.au) george from sydney, australia. awesome engine swap fellas. congratulations on a fantastic job. I have a volvo 122 1969 and want to do a similar engine conversion. SR20 turbo engines are now reasonably priced in sydney. note, it is a right hand drive vehicle. wondering if you had the time and effort to pass on details on the engine swap so i can look into doing the same. that is, modifications to body if any,modifications to engine crossmember and mounts, gearbox mounts, tailshaft, wiring, brake cylinder, clutch etc. Thanks. That would be fantastic. Or maybe i ship the car to you guys to install it for me. Best of luck.
