Mini Update, It's amazing what a bit of sanding a lacqure can do to a bit of paint... Oh and fuel pump will be here tonight (fingers crossed) so I'll be setting her up and beading in the brakes!

Nice car, i've just started my own ca18det powered project. I wondered if you have made up some sort of wiring diagram to get everything running?.

Well what a dissapointing weekend, progress on the car consisted of sorting out the fuel pump to run of the key, and fitting the dash to find a flat battery waiting for me, battery on charge and maby som progress tonight. on the bright side I can get her out now, and have compile a checklist of things to buy / sort for MOT! wohoo! This is the dash half fitted, lower trim section not yet fitted. More to come soon, hopfully!

9th / 10th Feb Update. Well what a weekend, sun out and shopping to do, but when I did get a chance to do a bit on the car I went for it. Front end is now fully together and I gave her a quick wash to get some more dust off, seats are in, harnesses fitted and turbo jacket installed, Exhaust system has been removed and painted in VHT black paint, and the end tip welded on, unfortunally while bleediing the brakes it was noted that the remote servo is playing up and is going to be disconected for the time being, altho this does mean all the bleeding so far has gone to waste and will have to be done again. on a bright note, the wiring is comin on, slowly but surley, and battery is finally located in a box in the boot, pics to follow. any way with the sun out a few shots of the fully built up car and the Flipped out Kustom stickers applied ready for lacqure now...

Ah Hem... just a little note to you all, after wiring and adjusting stuff, new wiper blades and what not she's booked for MOT on Friday 22nd Feb, THIS FRIDAY!!! Aragh! ! ! I hope she goes through so I can enjoy what has taken me nearly 16months to build. After that the last of the interior will be fitted andthe LSD ordered. Fingers Crossed
