Well, another day - a little more progress:
Fuel Swirl Pot arrived from Pro Alloy, special thanks to Alex for the pronto turnaround and accomodating my strange design request!
Put the heat exchanger back in the plenum and final fitted the nitrous bits:
Then made a start on the wiring loom mock up:
Only this much still to go:

Fooking loads 
Nah, Alex looked after me
To be honest, the quality of the work is unparalelled - i could have got one for a third of the price on ebay, but on a car with nearly Ł15k in it - i really didn't fancy filling an ebay bargain with fuel in the back of it...
Quality is worth every penny

Todays update!!!
Well, after removing the dash - there was something of a nightmare wiring wise that needed addressing...
Some time later!!!
Only this needed to come out - P.S, the bags are A3 size nearly!
And... my dash came back from Central Blast Cleaning in Banbury today - all flocked!
Centre console done as well.
Outstanding quality - can see why Prodrive use them

I REALLY don't want to sell up, but it's a harsh reality i do have to be aware of
Basically i came out of education early when i got offered an apprenticeship in F1, i've now come to realise that i have got gaps in my knowledge (primarily in design/CAD work) which i personally want to fill. Also, i feel i need to do this now, i'm 23 at the moment and come September i'll be 24, if i go on to do an MSc (again, something i want to do) i'll be 28 when i come out so it really is now or never!
Regarding qualifications, yes, there is an element of wanting to obtain them - i like to think i can do most things related to my job but i have nothing on paper to back them up...
