@AJ mate I now have a spare fully working rev5 mobo that you might be interested in for your 2nd a500, it has a 1.2 ks rom and ran perfectly when I tested it (includes top and bottom sheilds).

SOLD!

Thanks Derek!

was always fun to drive, but now I'm trying to get the air con working...

issue is, I've moved the radiator to the middle, its normally offset to the passenger side, which means the AC compressor doesn't clear the lower radiator hose...

combined with the fact that the top radiator outlet snapped off, it doesn't really help...

so, new, thicker radiator, twice the thickness of the stock one, but then the radiator fan doesn't fit...

Its a 5 door 1989 KE Ford Laser.
Was a carby engine, but its had a transplant from (I believe) a Jap spec BF Mazda Familia.
Same engine as the locally sold Ford TX3, but the ecu should be setup for better fuel than what we had in Australia in 1989, so it's meant to do 110kw stock, compared to 100kw for the aussie version.
