No real major updates, just getting all the bare metal treated and primed and the prop shortened and fitted.
Then its getting delivered to me at the end of the month so I can do the finishing touches to it and get it going, I mean moving under its own steam because apparently it doesnt count if its on the back of a trailer!

Well I've got the car back now, I just have to finish it off.
I've got seat rails, front end to fit inc intercooler and rad, boot, wiring, fuel system, doors, perspex, brakes, arches and engine and gearbox to overhaul.
Here's a picture of how it looks:
I just have to plod on and get it sorted.
I quite like the grey if I'm honest!

Fitted the bias pedal box today and had a quick layout of both seats and fuel tank, and all I can say is that its going to be tight. I couldnt even get the seat to fit with side mounts fitted! So back to more head scratching and I think I might need some remote reservoirs fitted to the pedal box me thinks!
As for mocking up the front end I didnt get round to it (maybe tomorrow) but I think it might be the same as I have a huge intercooler that practically take ups the complete front end, lets just hope the flip front will accommodate it. (im sure it will)
All the pedals need levelling and adjusting but I just got it in to see how she looks
I started taking the sound deadening off of the roof but then realised how annoying that stuff is and went inside to get something to eat! lol

Well not much has taken place but hopefully that will change soon! It's off getting the rear beam replaced and a few welding jobs done.
Once I get some pictures I'll post some up.
I've just been picking a few odds and ends up ready for when the car comes back. (engine mounts, coil pack loom, pre turbo rad, actuator, fuel system)
Hopefully there's enough space down there!
Roughly laid out despite the fuel reg being before the rail!

Its an AH Fabrication swirl pot, but its going to get the aeroquip fittings on it to match the rest of the fuel system.
Thanks for all the words of encouragement people. As for looking easy, I just focus on one thing at a time as theres no point worrying over everything all at once.
The jobs will eventually get done, its just a case of (to quote my friend) "time and money"
Once the lush rear end gets sorted ill post some more pictures
