Nice tatts too.

Bit of the ol progress, been slow as per usual but at least this time I have an excuse I have been working alot. But this means I can buy more stuff. YAY

Brace welded in, this means effectively the rear end is done which is a huge milestone. And I would like to thank Jordan and Kelvin for basically making me do it plus Jordan designing it and doing welding and testing and picking up laser cut stuff for it. And Kelvin for welding and telling me my prep work is no good.

Some wheels I have purchased from Japan. 17x9.5 rev mesh, I am moving the 16x8 that were on the rear to the front.

Link G4 storm I got to replace the microguess

Some more wheels

Trying on Kelvins dope wheels he got from Japan, and My longchamps I am in the process of purchasing off Jordan as soon as he will give me a price :mrgreen:/>

Boot floor waiting for fasteners, featuring a surge tank made by kelvin.

Whole bunch of AN fittings to make up the fuel system, and my new stroker cams

Radiator overflow and catch can

Washer bottle, the radiator overflow above goes on the opposite side in the same position so should be nice and tidy and out of the way.

Obligatory snap outside Wangs on the way to Sinco

W.G, don't have any pics of the BOV but I'm sure you can Imagine what it looks like.

A Duck I bought for Jordan for the front of his Crown, ala deathproof but not as cool :mrgreen:/>

15x7.5 meshes for my other lancer

Same again but with less offset for the front

Shiny goodness

Mass update!

So made a huge burst of progress on this. I was told it had to be at the Nats for our club stand {CJC} so we did lots of work on it over the hols to get it ready in time. Pretty much got everything mocked up then stripped the car and tidied it up and reassembled it. There is still a few things to go like buy injectors and wire it up and finish off the water lines and fit spring washers to suspension etc but most of what has been done is part of final assembly.
