So I just wanted to update a few things on how this is going. I have ordered and received the new CVT for the desiel engine I bought. So for the most part the purchasing is done, hopefully. I have run into a few issues to consider, with the whole fit with the new engine and such. Its wider then the orginal so the CVT and transmission do not line up with the original design, I'm working out idea's on this.
I have also been attempting to fix the small hole in the body by creating a acetone/PVC mixture out of spare chips I have from the body. This was going well until someone (Beeman) left it open to air and it hardened. But as a saving grace for him he is helping to create a second paste.
The weather is not cooperating right now, since we don't have a garage as of yet, so the snow we just received and the cold wind has slowed progress to a stand still. Unlike Beeman my project is stuck outside so I have to work around the weather right now until we get the garage built.
As it stands to date the cat is stipped of most parts, awaiting the body fix, then i get to start the fun stuff of making everything fit.
Cheers!
Beelady
