Well been a while, but I have been getting on with things when work permits..
Finally got round to fitting my exhaust. Made the down pipe from stainless to go into my R1 can from "PieWerx"...  Also made an aluminium bezel to go round my side panel where the exhaust goes through and gave it a polish (filthy job to do).  Managed to get most of my electrics in and tidied up...  All the electrics in the engine bay have been put in split conduit and the ends or joins finished with self amalgamating tape. High and low horns fitted...

Also started fitting my front suspension..
 Got some bolts to change and stainless spacers to fit on my rose joints. Nothing has been set up regarding camber or castor yet.  Chassis number at last stamped to stainless plate and fully welded to chassis cross member..  Radiator and cooling system all plumbed in and air filter fitted..

My guess would be these guys David as the air filter has ASH on the end which stands for Auto Silicone hoses

 Yes I guess it is.  The wife and kids were with me when I was looking at your build photos and they liked the look of black and yellow body panels so I guess you had an input in my car... I was going to go nearly all yellow but changed my mind.... I guess that's why this forum is all about.

Kev is absolutely correct.. No I haven't started my engine yet....  I was planning on getting it off my stands first in case it vibrates it self off them (if it starts)...

Been a while but I'm still working on it when I get a chance work permitting...
I've been re-fitting my body kit to get the panels in line now I'm bolting parts on that are staying on. Aero catches lined up and bolted in place (bl**dy fiddly trying to align 4 catches though...LOL). One thing to look out for is make sure your oil cap is fitted when you fit your AGM body kit, It's dam close as well as your front cam cover....  You can see where the bonnet just catches the masking tape on the middle of the cover. It was an easy get out for me though as I was always planning to fit a large bonnet scoop just meant I had to cut a bigger hole...  Front lights fitted with wiring hidden from view as it's all going through my light brackets..  Also started fitting front drivers side suspension...

More photos...
 Exhaust is nearly finished just need to modify bracket a touch and have spoken to Pipewerx about supplying an outlet with a 45 degree outlet to clear the wing more which they said wasn't a problem....  Hopefully will be able to have some quality time on it this weekend to get more stuff ticked off my to do list..
