Agents: Jason & Jacko
Mission: Impossible and too far.
Well, as some of you may know I have bought a Cally and I have decided to kill it for it's 'Engine of plenty'
First things first engine and box out of Cally.
I stripped all the bits of the LET to bling it, on way to pod the XE blew a core plug so my hand was forced. LET needed to be put in quicker (so at least this time I'll be blowing an expensive engine  )
I didn't make any note of where all the bits went on the engine, as usual I am spot on and very organised 
Enter Agent Jacko....
Start to put engine back together. Needed more fire power.
So drafted special agent Dene..
Who also brought in a very special agent Mossop...
The team was complete, all the bits were identified. Game on.
Ok back to the Mk1. XE is now out and Jacko's laying low at mine until daybreak, where we are going to attack the cars once more.
I'll stick the pics up and [bigbrothervoice]Let you decide[/bigbrothervoice]

Everything is in, on and in the correct-ish place, so all we need t do now is some wiring, i've started on it, i've soldered part of the LET loom in, done the rad plug, fan and all that, all cally parts are being used so if anything goes its an easy in-out deal! TBH, its looking factory fit, really neat, just wish it was my own car again!! lol 
anyway, just a few more wires to go and we should be ready for testing, so i could do with some help and advice ASAP please, so give me ring as im not going to be sat at the computer, my number is 07916 329 357, nice one, well the wires we need sorting are below;
on the car loom we have;
red
black
2x green into one
blue/yellow
these were attached to XE loom
ON the LET loom we have;
Brown
Brow/Green
Black
Back/Yellow
-> Im 90% sure these don't do anything, but thought i would ask
Black/White
Can anyone help??
Regards
Jacko
