Right then, as i have not done a update since April i though it best to do one after speaking to Jim today about his.

Not alot really has been done due to not really being bothered this year.

Got a gearbox on it but not pics as im sure you've all seen a dirty gearbox before lol

Got a few alloy brackets and pulley's off Scotty, im going to polish these up then get them anodised.

Done some more on the car the last few days.

Mounted the passenger seat, put the dash in all wired up.
Also done some work in the engine bay, all the tanks are in, only the standard ones so i can get the car running as i will be having some custom made tanks at some point.

Here are just a few pics off my phone as the camera is dead at the mo,

Cheers mate, to be fair all i ever do is look at the pics on a long resto.

What is was when i pulled alot of the bits off was i was having a bit of a downer with the car and had found something else i wanted so i took alot of the parts off and was selling up but then changed my mind again and desided to stick with it so had to go about getting the bits again.

As with the 18" Mo's i was unhappy with how they looked on the car so sold them and got 17"s again as i think they look better on the 3dr's
Just my opinion but its my car lol


To every one else thanks for the positive comments

Hi Gav,

how did you mount the seat? Directly to the floor, bolted to the factory sliding frame or custom sliding frame?

cheers

I got some cheap mounting brackets from Demon Tweeks and just drilled and bolted to standard sliders.

Only thing is you have to put the seat in the bracket one hole higher on the side that is closest to the door as the standard sliders are on the piss.

On the brackets i used i think it is lower, but that is the idea of these brackets.

This is the ones i got, just some cheap OMP ones.
