Been pretty busy with the car...this is how it looked 3 weeks ago...still a lot to do:
Image
Rebuilt all the suspension...everything 2 pack black with laquer...new wheels bearings, disc's, pads, nuts and bolts you name it i've replaced it:
Image
The car came out of the paint booth on Tuesday morning:
Image
First job was to heat wrap the exhaust tunnel...tedious and time consuming to do a nice job:
Image
By Thursday morning it was starting to take shape...huge job getting the loom, extinguisher, fuel and brake lines in neat and tidy plus refitting all the cable tie saddlles:
Image
Yesterday morning dash is now fully finished and ive power the loom up and checked everything works as it should:
Image
Pedal box fully finished, new brake lines, master cylinder's and resovouirs:
Image

So im back to it tomorrow, should be a rolling chassis in a few more days as i have all the corner's built up already.
