So yesterday I began with the Rover; got the sunroof + sagging roof lining out to re-carpeted that. But that is not where this is topic is about
I did it at my mates place, who owns his own business ''Gearhead'' and does a lot of American cars and the more classic ones. And he helps me with the Chevy if I can't fix it and also invited me to work on my Chevy if I need so.
Today I started by prewashed the car + undercarriage because of freezing + show, which means salt
Then contacted Rico if I could come over to his shop to change my spark plug wires, so I didn't have to stand outside haha. And if things go wrong I can always ask him, but fitting new spark plug wires was something I managed to do myself
Can't say it runs smoother, because it already did, though we had a pre-made wire because of the spark plug swap last year, that said bye when I took it of.
Pre washed and loads of water after that, also that undercarriage, in the wash box.
There is goes, fresh AC Delco's

I guess it not bad after 190k miles on the originals haha.
And then I saw a e-fan connected to a radiator in Rico's workshed, so I said, I need one also for more HP! Then he said, ooh you can have it, the customer bought everything new. I immediately saw it is not the biggest one, but it came from a Jaguar XJ 6 R 4.2 supercharged. So I imagine it has some power and I'm going to see if I can make it fit and work. The Jag is still there so I will get connectors and whats left of the wiring out of the Jag and see what I end up with. I've to go custom anyway, because I don't have a HD radiator anymore. Was looking for a Corvette/Camaro e-fan. But this free fan is worth giving a shot, the motors are quite heavy! Pics in next post.
