Thank you Clive. I don't intent to stop anytime soon! Right now it is peacefully sleeping under a tarp to keep moisture out. I can't wait to get it out again!

Thank you! It is a huge improvement, to say the least. Still tons of work to do, but it's getting there. Speak soon!

Thank you for your interest! It is here to stay, and there is still a ton of work to do to it. I will go off road this weekend, so look out for a video about that! Thanks again!

Brake lines are quite often seized. The technique I have demonstrated takes car of 99% of such cases. Only seldom will you have to sever the line and make a new one. Glad this helps! And I hope you are well. It has been a while.

@@gmcevoy Yeah I'm ok , i had to get rid of my old rusty mx-5 i tried to get it back on the road but it needed to much work but i now have a new one same as the one i had before even the same colour but this one is rust free only done 40k miles its a 2004 model. i joined the owners club and have gone out on some nice drive outs and showing the car at classic car shows it's been fun

@@Mr_Dia-Tribe I know that feeling. But it is great that you have managed to lay hands on a nice one, and that you are enjoying it!

Thank you Ryan! Much appreciated.

Thank you, Jan!

Hi Bob! Nice to hear from you! Thank you for your kind words. I am really glad that you find my content useful. The front passenger portal leak has not yet been addressed, I am hoping to find a place for it indoors this Winter, where I can work on it comfortably. It is a big piece of work that. I have not had fuel tank leaks yet. I am not looking forward to that, but I will have to do something about the fuel gauge not working. It is a hindrance of sorts. I will be taking the Pinz out wheeling for the weekend, I hope I won't damage anything! I will try to make a video about that. :-) Speak soon I hope, and keep enjoying your Pinz! They are indeed engineering marvels which deserve to be enjoyed now that they have retired from their service.

@@gmcevoy HI Geoff, so glad you're back in business with getting the Pinz out on the trail again! If you don't have fuel leaks that's great! Also you probably already know but you can get to your fuel sensor through a bolted plate in the cabin on the passenger side. It would be under the radio table. Easy access to the tube & wire contacts. Let me know if you need a contact for a new/used fuel sensor tube. If that's the issue. Best Always & enjoy the trailride!!! Looking forward to the video!!!

@@bobv7753 Thank you for the heads up, Bob. The thing is, the previous owner built a custom drawer/shelf system bolted over the access plate you mention. I would have to take it all out just to access it, and since I intend to rebuild something from scratch, it is going to have to wait until I get to that. First of all, I need it to be reliable and safe to drive, then I will likely tackle body work, electrics, a paint job if I can afford it, and certainly redesign the interior to make it comfy and versatile. I will post all about this along the way of course, but it will all be distilled over a couple of years surely. So thank you for your enthusiastic following, I highly appreciate it! Speak soon!

Hi Steve! I have not yet addressed that portal leak issue. I hope to be able to take care of it this Winter. It comes from the portal output shaft seal, so nothing else than replacing it will solve the problem. This involves taking the whole portal apart down to basic components. It's a big job to undertake... I had the same issue with Pinz SSi blade connector! I crimped it with some pliers so it would stay on. Furthermore, I just had to replace the board with both coils because it was only firing on three cylinders. I had Rick, who makes the Pinz SSi, tell me that this issue had never happened before. I believe some connection within the board must have gone wrong, probably because the whole thing got under water. Did you see that part of my previous video? Not my best moment, admittedly. Since then I relocated the ignition module behind the drivers seat, as I deleted the petrol-powered cabin heater. I still have it mind you, I just removed it from the vehicle. Now the ignition module is safe from water ingress. I will be going off-road this weekend with it, I hope it will behave! Speak soon I hope. Take care Steve!
