Thanks for all the comments..

This will hopefully be the last update as the car is now mostly sorted..

Connected up the battery cables to check the car loom and everything works



Just need to install the Motec engine loom and bobs yer auntie


Sorted out the "road" wheels and will have these sitting right on the arch lips once i have adjusted the castor and camber






So thats it..hope to see a few of you out and about
