Sweet!

BRILLIANT
Everything seems to be working.

New rad and themostat installed.

Temp constant through the town in traffic and drops on the open road.

I am really pleased as all the restoration work I wanted to do is now done.

1. No clacking exhaust manifold noise.
2. Perfect cooling system.
3. No PAS leak.
4. Car is completely water tight.
5. Speakers upgraded.
6. Alarm sounder fixed.
7. Dashboard squeaks fixed.
8. Tidied up dashboard leather.
9. Re-trimmed doors.
10. Re-sealed doors.
11. Fixed window closure.
    
12. Windscreen sorted out.
13. Idles well - mixture is perfect.

The only things I'd consider doing now are:

1. New seat belts (the old ones got wet and now stick a bit sometimes)
2. Respray - paint work is looking rather tired
3. GAZ or Nitron shock absorbers
4. New discs and pads
5. Remove precats - (maybe)
   

When I get time I'll take some proper pictures and get some PDF tutorials up and online.

New rear speakers

Here is my step by step guide to fitting rear speakers to a Chimaera.

You will need:
Balls!
Speakers (pair)
Speaker wire
Hacksaw blades (wood)
Wood drill (small)

1. Unbolt cd changer (if you have one)
2. Remove carpet from above fuel tank
3. I choose to loose my vents and put the speakers in their place - remove vents and drill holes from the boot into the cabin around the edge of the speaker template.
4. Carefully cut and break the fibreglass between the holes you've made.
5. Fit speaker.
6. You *might* have speaker connections in the nearside panel between the rear wheel and the door post. - If you do pickup your speaker connections here, run them over the wheel arch (tape in place).
7. Connect speakers
8. Enjoy
