Loads of progress today.

Headlights fitted,
Roll cage harness cross bar fitted.
Intercooler fitted
Prop shaft cage built (by friend) this splits in half to allow you to drop the shaft out.


Quick question.... i will be running the wiring loom and brake+fuel lines on opposite sides but do they have to be one on the bottom and one on the top?

There has to be separation between the wiring loom and the fuel lines but otherwise there are no other specific rules as far as I know.

Cool so running them both along the top of the tunnel will be fine as long as its on opposite sides,

Well rear tub will be a Saturn one. Wings will all be Luego Viento as they have a nice shape to them and able to fit my big rims (rears will eventually be changed to take 325mm rubber)
