These ones are female I will try to get a photo of them tonight.

 

Once the cars running if it all starts and runs ok I could just leave them disconnected.

I managed to find the 2 plugs on the wiring diagram when i stripped back the ecu plug. One is for a Knock sensor adjustment and the other is for octane adjustment.

 

Right! An update on my progress. The other week i moved the cabriolet into a new garage with lots of light and electricity:

Over the past couple of weeks I have been doing odds and sods but this weekend I really went for it and I was in the garage all day yesterday until 5am this morning. Its now all done and fitted I just need to get a battery to fire her up!!! (fingers crossed it will start and run!)

I added some power to the car today and it started up first time!!!

I had to adjust the dizzy slightly but other than that it idles and revs up as it should. I will start putting all the bits back on now ready for a road test when i get back from my hols. I had the car running without the rear box attached today as I have a bit missing so i need to get a new system from ebay i think unless I go for a standard mid section and adjust it for the magnex rear box.

 

The garage is pretty cool! It cost us £180 from ebay as someone had it in their garden and was going to knock it down. Think its a 1950's prefab thingy. My brother is a sparky so had no trouble getting plenty of light and electric in there.

Hi All,

Its been a long winter for me and I have neglected the cab for months. I have been back in the garage recently though and its all up and running now with all the engine in and running sweet. Just a few more bits to tidy up and put the interior back in before its MOT.

 

This weekend hopefully I will get round to painting the rims. Think I will go for silver to brighten things up a little.

 

I'm thinking about putting the car up for sale once the MOT is sorted as the car just sits in the garage and I dont ever get time to enjoy it. Its been tucked away now since Marh 2007.

 

I will upload some more recent images shortly.
