UPDATE. TIME !!!

Well not a big update, I haven't had alot of time or money come to think of it.anyway I went to and it gave me the kick up the ass I needed to get cracking with it, so I brought some new hoses in RS green (rad induction. And washer jet)also got an afr gauge and a spoiler.

So iv fitted the new hoses and topped up with fluid,fitted my aux belt tensioner and measured up for my belt .

Just got to wire up my afr gauge no good with wiring but Il get there need to bleed my brakes but haven't got the right size spanner (must be a half size)

Pics to follow

Looks a good project mate. Nice work. Do you need a non pas rack? What happens if you run a pas rack without the pas?

That's essentially what I did with seats in my Puma, butchered the original subframe and pressed up some plates at work to weld into what was left. Worked quite well really!

Looking good mate.
