Look on Tyler Townsley facebook page (go to photos and prototype album) for new photos of EX5023 from England before and after crushing.

All wire harneses have been plugged in and inspected for damage. I'll repair them so I can still retain the originals. Ordered another dash harness to use to repair the original. There were a few cut wires and missing connectors. The front end loader wasn't too kind in some areas.

We've been working hard at it for the past two days. Today we achieved fuel pressure and stopped any leaks. Testing the DIS module with a checker tomorrow. Tyler is amazing with the schematics of the PhaseII setup.

Thankfully, we have Tyler's "Queenie" car here with mine for a side by side comparison. Big help.






The only two 1988 KOH Prototypes in the world, together at last!


Other projects taking a backseat this week.

You could have came with us on the tour! Wish I had been thinking clearer. We were on a mission to drop Tyler's car off at Jeal's house and cram a tour in all in one day. Got home around 11pm last night. Long day....
