Update. Good and bad.
Bad
Duratec idea is out the window. I've sold most bits to get some money back. Could justify spending everything I had to at this point in my life.
Good
Good news is the car id definitely staying and well on its way to working.
Got it running, just can't drive it yet
Bit more has happened to this since the last update.
Had a problem with fuel leaks. Sorted this with some hose finishers and a billet fuel filter.
Exhaust is on and fuel tank up
Got all this through the post
then got some tyres
and some wheels to suit.
They fit over my new front brakes - Ford Racing Puma 4 pots.
Brake lines are laid, tightened and bolted down. Was waiting for the wheels to put the brakes on, so they should be on and bled in the next couple days.
Driveshafts are in and gearbox fluid is in.
I have a 50mm core Cossie rad to go on, so will get that sorted soon too. Then I can test drive it!
