Welcome to the forums!
If that haze is on the inside of the headlights, you need to take them out and put them in the oven to soften the plastic to pull em apart. Once you've cleaned them out, drill a small hole or two in the bottom of the lights so the moisture can escape and they wont fog up again.

IMO.. no holes should be made on the bottom of the headlights as that's how they get foggy..

there are 2 vents on the back of the headlights where they do have foams inside it to avoid dust or insects getting in..

check that first.. 1 is a white clear-ish circular cover near the indicator.. and the other is like a spout pointing down and it is in black color

I don't know......drilling holes in my foglight fixed it right up

3sx fuel loop

56 mm radiator with new top and bottom hoses
Getting fly wheel machined

Hey mate, have a belated welcome to the forum! Great, clean example you have there. I think it's best to buy a car in stock standard form, so that's a good find. Best of luck with it all. Btw, let me know how you go with that 56mm radiator...I'm having fitment issues with mine.

 

[Leggy98]

Up date so far. I have fitted the 3sx fuel rail loop, injector seal and thermostat. So all the easy stuff.

I sent the flywheel away to be machined and turns out it is bent very badly. I have got a new one coming from TME along with a short shift and inter cooler.

mastag haven't tried the radiator yet but will let you know when I get there. May be a little while though.

Replacing the seals and cleaning the transfer case

I Would change both bearings on the gearbox input shaft and the input shaft seal plus redo all the conduit on the wiring while you're there....

I have got the motor and gearbox back in and running. not to happy though because it has got a vibration at 2000-2400 in gear and neutral. next thing is the clutch pedal feels light even with a heavy duty clutch and you have to push the pedal right to the floor before you can get it into gear. have been trying to bleed the clutch but that doesn't change it at all.
