Looks great. Are you going to stripe it or factory black outs or something to "race it up"?

Hi wattsy im going to get some sponsorship on it, got a couple of mates who would like to promote there businesses so it might give it a racey look.
The front spoiler is going to be a mould so i will be able to sell them for around $175.00 if there is some interest.

Fitted the diff today and tried on a wheel only to find out it needs a small spacer as the wheel centre is touching the caliper.

Been a busy little chipmonk lately and heres the proof. Fitted the window glass, made a floor pan shield out of stainless a bit heavier than alloy but its a bit more rigid and only.6mm.
Wanted a good pedal so i scored a bit of sticky sandpaper of ebay and stuck it onto the pedals. On the weekend i jacked up the engine and checked the clearance from the throttle bodies to the bonnet and kept jacking it up untill it was about 8-10 mm from hitting it. So the big problem is still the clearance between the crossmember and the sump thers nothing there, its either going to have to be dry sumped or spacer the crossmember up a bit.
I fitted the front strut to see what it was going to look like with the wheels on andi think its lookin goood Everthing seams to take hours to fit even the rear shockies took 1 hour each to fit.
O the weekend i made up some bushes out of nylon for the anti- dive they took all day to make and fit as the block of nylon was 60mm round and you gotta be careful otherwise it spits it back out at ya, not good. Ok heres the flicks

Did a bit more even thought ive been real busy doing other stuff, fitted upper adjustable arms to the diff, fixed a alloy bracket to hold the coils and fitted the brake lines as well as fitting the window net. I removed the battery tray as the new radiator was just touching it. After xmas its going in to get the extractors made and fitted then off to get a custom harness done.
