Very good video, very honest. You've done some really great work, I feel inspired to buy some piece of old soviet machinery and stick a saab engine in it lol
Hi! As for the reservoir leak on the first iteration, perhaps you could have drilled another hole on the top and used a banjo bolt with o-rings or something next time! Otherwise cool project
Excellent progress. With the fan resistor, what about mounting it flat against the bracket with some heat sink paste in between so that it uses the bracket as a heat sink. No point wasting the opportunity for more heat transference.
Of course! Do you know what with just myself to sound ideas off I often find I get myself to a point where the blinkers are on! That would have made more sense! Cheers 😁
@@LivingMyBoostLife I understand completely and happy to be of help. It's so easy when you are like me just watching the video as opposed to you doing the work with your brain thinking of a million things. I suppose that's one of the benefits of TH-cam.
Awesome. Its really coming together. Its gunna be a cracking green lane machine this! Did you consider offsetting the throttle cable piece you made to give a non linear throttle butterfly response to pedal inputs, like the plastic one you loosely modelled it on. It might give a more controllable throttle in traffic but still offer full throttle at full pedal. I guess this would be more of a pain in the arse to make though :)
Great work there. Fabricating components and even modifying existing parts is not and easy task. It is not all IG and money shots. Touching on the wiring and fan electrical is a plus. Most folks I know (including me) it is not their strong suit.
Wow Shaz is coming together nicely, turbo intercooler installation neat with seriously bespoke parts, a tight fit in Shaz,s engine bay. When are you upgrading the undercarriage, the Mk2 Disco axles you acquired, I would not touch with a barge pole, see if you can swap for a pair of Mark 1 3/4 Ton COE axles, they are far better.
Great to see you making components from scratch.
Just wild engine choice.. russians would never seen such engine swap coming into one of these :D
Absolutely Quality work and video. Subbed 👍👍
Great update Adam, good to see you back 😊
Legend, be ace to hear it run 💪🏼👍🏼
Awesome progress! Can’t wait for first start up and road test. Saving up now for when you offer a full kit for this conversion :-)
Always an education.
Like the new intro - cut it down to under half the duration and it will be perfect!

It may not be pretty but I'd call it rugged and purposeful, fine job.

Lower your standards and JB weld any leaky tig's. Job jobbed.
