Cant wait to see it finished, looks awesome so far. When is the engine going in?
How do you get away with having the filler in the boot?

Have been doing a bit more work on the car lately, fitted up the Watt's Linkage, track rods and rear brakes, started fitting out the engine bay, trial fitting the Alloy radiator, wont have the hose outlet's welded in until the engine 9is in, so I can have them positioned where I want them.
I have fitted a few braided hoses and fittings. Tank is securely in.
Stil a fair bit of work to do yet, but motor will go in, in the next couple of weeks I hope.
Unfortunately car will miss SFS2009, but I dont want to hurry it.

Thanks for the comments guys, they are appreciated.
Glen, No plans at this stage for any track days, but who knows.
Fordsy, I got the Watts Linkage from SMCKA, have a look at his website, he is very competitive pricewise and he gives excellent service

Just got my new brake kit from SMCKA, so I fitted them up today. Really pleased with the results. They are Wilwood Midilite Calipers with radial mounts. EBC Greenstuff Pads, Goodridge Braided lines, and Maxtorq Vented,crossdrilled and slotted Rotors.

I didn't weigh everything out of the box, but complete all up package weight, including,calipers,mounts,rotors hoses and pads was 14 kg.

thats a huge weight saving

Looks good

Still want to look at your coil overs

Bit hard at the moment with the MCG and the mighty Saints

Will give you a bell
