more progress today

managed to get the other wing on and the vent cut out:





beginning to look like more of a car now!



then we held the bumper up to see what needed trimming and where:



and we also thought we'd see how the intercooler looked in the bumper!



thats it for now, the next step will be cutting the front crossmember off and making a new, smaller one!

cheers ian they do fit pretty well, only thing that is bothering me is the n/s one, but they're not bad for carbon kevlar!

garrett gt3076r (or 3082r, havent decided yet) bd14's, headwork, long studded block, 865cc injectors, somewhere between 7.5 and 8:1 compression, reyland double valve springs.

cant think anymore than that... its too early in the morning.

update time!

i had a thought in the week... i'd fitted my wiring loom that came with the car in a bag... but didn't know if it was any good, or if the looms matched the fusebox! so saturday, we connected all the earths and have it its first 'power up':




woohoo! everything we tried worked just fine!

also on saturday, i magically made my escos centre console...

sapphire console:



escos centre console:





i also measured up some 355mm discs to see how much caliper clearance i'd have with my stylish xr2i wheels:





thats all for now, hopefully interior will start to go in next week
