ok at long last i have an update, and you will be pleased to see whats been goin on this past while, my parts FINALLY arrived from burtonpower and i got my engine built up, i also got alot of the wiring sorted so nearly everything is working now

after that i got almost all the interior back in, except a few door cards etc. and i painted the rs skirts, bootlid and spoiler, and got the brand new discs and pads in and bled up, then i decided it was time to set the engine in, got it near ready to go bar a few parts i needed, and once i got these parts i threw some petrol into her but no noise from fuel pump, checked the plugs were clipped in again and then put direct power to it to make sure it was ok, once i got this sorted and a few wee leaks, i tried to start it but the starter made no effort atal, bad starter as wiring was all good, i decided to get my dad to give me a wee tow as i was the able to get the oil up around her before firing, then when i decided it was right she fired straight up, never as pleased in my life

now i just have a few we things to sort out with it and it should be good to take for a longer drive.
also in the middle of all tha (saturday night) i made my own custom stainless steel exhaust (pics below) it took me a good few hours but after hearing the noise i am soooo pleased with it

and just there now i took it for a short drive up the road and it didnt heat up which is good and it seems to be driving perfect, going into all gears perfect, brakes are lethal (rear p/s heating up though?), and feels to have nice power although i didnt really open it up as it was the first run, oh and it is really REALLY loud!
anyway here is a few pics of how she looks and some of the progress that ive been making
my custom made exhaust
well thats it up to date now anyway

hope you like it lol
