    The painter came over last week and buffed the van and I got most of the interior finished last weekend....except for the cover panels in the back which just have to be painted.

    The tacho wasn't working and I discovered the brown wire from the coil changed to yellow at the instrument harness plug. WTF? Anyway, after I pulled the dash apart.....again, I found that the brown wire from the tacho was seperate to the harness and didn't go through the plug at all. It must be off a later model because I had another instrument harness which had the brown wire in the right spot. I swapped the wiring, hooked everything back up, and now the tacho works. One problem I couldn't solve, and someone here may be able to help me, is the altenator warning light comes on with the ignition in the off position. It goes out when I start the engine.

    I hooked up all the hoses etc for the air con after buying a reco compressor that has all the late model guts in it to take the new a/c gas. Also fitted the reco carby I got from Hume Performance. The doors are both fitted up with all the hardware as well and I chucked the new dress rims on. All the lights are working including the interior light and even the park brake warning light.

    To get that "Sandman" feeling, after 2 1/2 years of doing this, I broke out the "Sandman" stickers and whacked them on. I feel better now.....sorta.

    A signwriter mate is coming over in a few weeks to fit the long stickers on the side.

    Not long now.
