Yeah a little lol, but I do make most of my stuff at home though

As you moving, yeah not far away, need some shocks and wheels, only thing is I want to get my bodywork first so I can work my wheel offset out so its sits nice

[Rosco]

Well more done today, made some little crush tubes for the fuel rail, also I've vapour blasted the bracket to make it look at bit more factory





Also I've started making a new gear lever, just the lower bit with the bearings in as its a bit of a bodge lol

[Rosco]

More done today, loads of bits and bobs to do, got my clutch cable sorted, had to make a bit at the pedal end and solder a bit on the other end, it wouldn't solder to start with, to hot I think, but got it done in the end.

Also got all my aluminium engine cradle spacers back on and tightened up.

Then went down my dads and made my air filter backplate ready for the itg filter, I got a drawing from ITG for the outside



Came out mint





Pretty much there now, just need a few holes in it for wiring, air temp and the fuel feed, also need some 3mm spacers under the trumpets to replicate what was there before as it's got orings that seal everything

[Rosco]

Steering rack and track rods re fitted



When I re fitted the steering shaft my break pipe was in the way so I had to make a new one



Rear discs and pads fitted



Done a bit more on my inlet, fuel rail all fitted and fuel piped up

[Rosco]

I removed the pins from the injector plugs ready to pass through a grommet but then decided I'm going to cut the lot and put a connector inline so it's easily removed



Also my air filter came last week and fits sweet!

[Rosco]

Had a morning on my dads cnc today





These are to go under my trumpets on the inlet to replicate the thickness that was there before



Handbrake cable tags

[Rosco]

Works like a dream to!





This is a bracket for over the diff, just need some more grommets

[Rosco]

Right update time, been bitting and bobbing all week really

Rear lights temporarly mounted and wired to the front





Makeshift dash sorted so I can start to get things wiried



Battery cables done

[Rosco]

I'm using these terminal bars for my wiring



Toggle switches for my dash

[Rosco]

New gear lever made





Also made a bracket for the starter relay
