Time for a small update.
Right from the start i was always gonna put the fuse box in the back.
But after messing around with wires i decided against it and moved it back to where it should be.
All the boot needs now is some more white and with the engine being in the back i thought i might need one of these
Done the exhaust
Fitted. Still need to mod the rear bumper.
With the exhaust fitted i noticed that it was blowing from the exhaust elbow ( never saw the stud had broke off
)
So after removing the albow and trying to weld a nut on the stud to remove it, i gave up and removed the turbo so i could drill and tap it.
New stud.
Put back on with all new nuts.
Done a bit of work on the front bumper and mounted the spliter.
Little bit of under coat.
Also started on the dash and gauges.
Was gonna keep the gauges like that and just tidy up the wires but decided for a pod.
Ready for filler and flocking
Thats all for now, more to come soon

Its really coming along well.
Do you plan to put sides on the cosworth splitter? I think black would look best for sure.
Personally i think the cosworth Illusion kit looks good too.

Update
Havnt had much time over the last month or so to do much also lack of funds is slowing me down abit...
Been doing small bits like undersealing the rear wheel arches, bonnet pins, wipers , rear window glass, brake lines, etc etc
I know buddy, got a new pair i just am too lazy to change them. (Ł10 for a pair brand new in the box from ebay )
I will put some pic's of the front and rear brakes when funds permit..
until then here are some outside shots..
I am gonna put a firewall, one of the last things to make
Just for you buddy...
Couple of videos i found on my bro's phone that are about a month old
