Didn't realise either that the inlet was for you, when the pictures got posted on another thread, Thought Daz might be converting to EFi himself



Good progress

Piccies!!

Sorry for the quality. Taken on a phone in night mode which requires a steady hand which I didn't have!! I was using night mode because the lighting was a little poor.

Block and crank




Pistons in and big ends on





Head




Head on



Back seat in and most of the interior back in





Sunroof in. Big job this one as the mechanism kept falling apart and jamming up and it was slightly too long.



New shiny head lamps!!! With approval of AJC!



Some assistance from a furry friend...

It's a little lower than expected but we'll recheck it again when the engine is together.

The reason why it's flying along is money bags AJC has been spending his hard (moderately easy) earned and I've been building the engine and pointing him in the right direction!
