The ABS is Wabco, speak with Martin at Futuranet he is helping me with the electronics, really knows his stuff.

The TPMS canbus system is from Tyrepal who have an open protocol can bus interface which can be read by the canbus ECU, Martin will do the programming only issue is how we show tyre pressure issues on the dash as there is no tyre pressure indicators. I'm hoping we can add a TPMS symbol onto the central display, so very much still a work in progress.

I wait all this time with various suppliers, and it seems they have all colluded to deliver everything to me next Friday, engine, transmission, Loom, chassis, tyres, wheels and bulkhead all on the same day.......

The ABS system works fine without any engine signals but obviously traction (and stability control if using a late system) wont be fully functional. its debateable how efficient the standard traction system would be without some reprogramming for a much higher power output. ingredients are looking lovely by the way Christmas in February Very Happy

I would be fitting the wabco ABS/TC not the late DSC system, and ideally I would be looking to retain traction control as well as ABS so need the engine signals to the ABS ECU. 1989 90 4.3 V8

The chassis is talking a bit longer to harden off, which is a good thing, I can try and get the tub done and out of the way ready to get the chassis in.

It seems to have taken me an age to do these little bits.

New floor and forward-facing rear seat and new back panel

Bonded in new repair panel.

Reinforced seat belt mount, completed bulkhead removal and trial fitted the seats.

I know it's probably not clear in the pictures Rolling with laughter but my workshop has resembled a tip for the last week, better have a tidy up before the chassis arrives.

Next week will see the bulkhead back from the strippers and the engine gearbox package should arrive on Friday, fingers crossed, not that I'm ready for it I've still not sorted the mounts out, cart before the horse comes to mind. Laughing

The good news on the colour is it has been narrowed down to two...........

Ooh those new parts!! I'd love your shopping list but not the bills! Stunning work!

I'm not asking for figures but out of interest do you keep a tally of costs or is it just get what you need and hope your partner doesn't find the bills? Laughing James
