Bit of an update on the progress, Well the car went on it's maiden voyage on Wednasday night up and down the street a few times 8) . It felt really wierd as every thing is so stiff compaired to grey XR2, What with the engine mounts and paddle clutch it felt really stiff and a bit judderey, but i suppose it'll just be a case of getting used to it. But apart from that it was nice to finally drive it again after it being on stands for about 18-20 months.

The only problem was a knock that came from the drivers side front strut, which is due to me not tightening it up enough , and the rear shocks having no top nuts on them just a rag wraped around with a pair of mole grips (nuts are on order).

It runs sweet, and just running on the drive the temps all stay really low which i'm really pleased with. I had it running for about 10-15 mins and the ACT gague did'nt go over the mid 20's. Looks like the time spent waiting for the Samco's was well worth it.

Well I finished the brake lines off (pics below) and i'm glad i spent the time replacing them as they look much better with the red hose on them.

I've spoken to my mate Rob (AKA Mk2 Peachy Turbo) and he recons defo 2 weeks until he has finshed his Cossie, and then mines in there for a nice new coat of paint .
So it's looking good for the end of May.
