little update

Breather now finished, really pleased with it, nice one Pete;)






and the paint is nearly there. A few imperfections but these will be sorted after the car is fitted up. Again thanks Ken, it looks great Wink, the photos don't do it justice.

not at the moment Angry will do as soon as I have something worth showing. Ported my manifolds this evening and ran them over the polisher. Loads of bits been powder coated so will be getting the box in for the last time and setting up the back suspension. Panels are all prepped for paint, but waiting to paint them so that there is less risk of damage before they get on the car.

A few pictures to prove I have been busy! Gearbox in, suspension set up, engine in, rear brace on, sump guard fitted, second breather fabricated and being welded, wiring being installed for the last time. Progress is slow but the car is getting there Wink Grin

Thanks Danny, you are right there has been a lot of thought gone into it, sometimes nothing seems to move forward but it seems to finally be coming together.

Thanks for the encouraging comments, bit of a set back, the paint was getting ridiculously expensive so I have had to stop the painter and finish it myself. All panels are preped and in primer at least so hopefully I will keep it up to the required standard?! Headliner and carpets will be done by the weekend so at least that is something Smiley

The position of your WB sensor, is not the best. Water could get in to the sensor.

Take a look in the manual. They recommend a position in the upper part of the pipe.
just an advice. Smiley
