Would be nice with a trip to england, when do you have time? lol
Well, nowadays i really enjoy working on the car, but looking forward to get it all finished of course. The time schedule looks good at the moment and she will be on the road next summer i suppose. There is still a few things to do that costs some money but one step at a time should solve it.

Mounted the cross-member with engine mounts and the heater blower yesterday. Will try to get some more things done during christmas, pics will come

Many thanks mate. The rear amber lights has finis code 6157281 (right) and 6157282 (left), and front indicators 6151231 (right) and 6151233 (left). I had some problems sourcing out the indicators so maybe they are not available anymore. Think it was around Ł140 for the rears and Ł60 for the indicators.

Well fellas, merry christmas from Norway. Hopefully there will be room for some time with the car during christmas too

Will do, problem is the girlfriend has come down for the weekend and I'm back to work on Monday. I'll be away from home completing test work which is a double whammy. I'll post when I can. Keep up the good work.

Many thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated. Decided to finish the abs brake unit yesterday and started painting all the parts which was gonna be a little challenge since i had to do it outside the garage in -15 degrees. Well, i took one part at a time and let them dry i front of a heat oven inside the garage, pleased with the result. Today i mounted the whole unit back together with plated bolts, nuts and brackets.

All parts painted and ready for assembling.
