Got a few more bits done on the old jalopy over the past few days, just trying to work on it as often as I can weather and time permitting

My mate Ade retrimmed the headlining for me as although it wasn't the worst I've ever seen, it looked a bit tatty. Unusually though it wasn't saggy! I think he's done a lovely job seeing as it was the first he's done! Thanks mate!

Just need to get it back in the car now!

I've managed to get most of the engine bay bits in the bay now, still got a few more bits to put in then it's ready for the engine to go in.

Talking of engines, I picked it up from Tony on Thursday last week so week so now it's just a case of building up all the ancilliarys and plonking it all in and connecting it all up. Just waiting for a few parts to arrive so I can then get it all built up.

Got my supra diff and rear beam in on Tuesday as well, was meant to get it in on Monday but got let down by one of my mates who was meant to lend me a hand

Thankfully my mate Steve (1-PD on here) and his mate Paul came over on Tuesday to lend a hand and we got it all in! Thanks very much boys, really appreciated your help

I think the height looks about right (I know it has to settle but that's where I'd like it to sit)

Not sure whether to change the colour of the wheels to silver or just get them redone in the current colour. What do you guys think?

Got the car turned round then and stripped off all the old front suspension stuff ready for my new stuff to go on

Not doing anything today as the weather is gash so that can wait for tomorrow
