GarryG Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Bought "BLADE" on going project, Sept 2020. previous owner had made progress but couldn't complete, and I knew what had to be done and to date no nasty surprises, as he was very honest. I know this might be long project given my age, and certain health restrictions, (aches and pains, LOL), and what with COVID, my Son's support (muscles) is difficult. Will try and show before and after pic's not necessarily chronological. Wiring has been fun, with wires going nowhere, some cut and not rejoined. The Engine is a Renault Trafic 1.9 Td, fully marinized, but still has ECU, and wiring loom. there are Pro's and Con's, at the Mo, Pro's winning, as per plan. Digital Dash on Helm. and full engine diagnostics availability. Feel free to comment, offer advice, I'm no expert. MegaByte and Andy135 2 Quote

In order to share it, you'll need to change it to Unlisted in YouTube Studio, which means that it won't show up in YT but the link is shareable and only the people who have the link can see it. Quote
