It's getting there!

It's all in and running, just need to sort a few bits of wiring out for the front lights, and a bit in the tailgate, pop the driveshafts back in, brakes, gears, clutch, interior etc etc......

it will be moving by 2moz (i've been saying that since thursday tho)

there have been a few unexpected differences, x member being a big one that envolved modding of original to make it fit, but it's all good now

Cutting it fine then

I would come and help the cause but got no transport

To get it back on the road, all that really needs doing are the front lights and bolting the bumper and grille on. The interior is still stripped but i'm not really in any rush to get it back in.

Aslong as it's running well for saturday it will be okay.

im slacking

if it wasn't for the unexpected problems and a few parts we had to wait for it would have been on the road by now

still 8 days to almost do a complete 20vt conversion beats my previous time

Could be worse - my engine dont run at all yet

 

[Martin M]

You're not slacking Mr. Ben, just my car is a pain in the bum!

Cheers for doing it all though, much appreciated!
