    My photobucket has done a shit and says I have exceeded my bandwidth as the monthly hit was 240,000...... Gayers!

    Will hopefully be updating after the weekend with some more pics via some other image hosting site:) Its pretty much a complete car again now and looking moderately badass.

    Boring stuff to do this weekend.... Loom, bleed brakes, fit rear shocks and fuel lines........Not long now! Maybe running bank holiday weekend:D

    Cheers!

    Pics are working again:)

    Had some happyness today..IT RUNS!!!! And sounds frickin mental:D

    First, stuff from last week..

    Got the coolant pipework done last weekend. Was going to all be stainless and Tig'd but lack of time meant that it ended up mild steel and Mig'd! Happy with how it turned out tho. Check it....
    050409005.

    Made the fuse and relay holder for the engine loom. This goes in the gap where the glovebox would go....
    050409012.

    How it sits at the moment..
    220309014.
    290309001.

    To get it on the road my jobs are:
    Finish wiring looms
    Get hold of a clutch that fits the flywheel
    Fab up clutch cable conversion on clutch fork
    Bleed brakes
    Fit exhaust
    Make prop

    Will get the vid up ASAP so you can hear it!

    Cheers

    I see you kept the bonnet with the huge vent in it, how'd you secure it so it wouldn't flap about?

    sounds awesome mate. After skimming through the thread am I right in thinking you used the gearbox out of an ae86 corolla and made up a custom propshaft? looking for options to fit into mine.
