The Sump gasket had fouled so we replaced that which took a while but was doable on the frame which was handy as I thought we'd have to take it off.
A lot of metal chopping welding and griding today to get the exhaust made up too.
We're really getting there now! got quite a bit done today on the wiring front of things got it rolling on it's wheels too now.
Touching wood for the end of April!
MAnifold looks a little big...

Got a new cut off switch as the old one was rusty, removable key this time too which is a bit more knightrider I feel.. :roll:

Cam cover now finished

Lol, Fire extinguisher fitted to cage, I've always wanted to do this for some weird reason, and now I have!!

Here's a mock up for the "Complex" exhaust we are grafting




Ooh bright light!! Go Mick! Lol!

Measured, cut, spot welded and mocked up for fitment, all looking good, I do need to source a piece of flexi-pipe though as it's straight from the manifold and bolted to the boot floor so I need something that will give it a bit of give, but success with this bit all the same


That's it for the moment, like I said above it's getting closer and closer to starting it up for the first time and annoying the neighbours!! Can't bleedin' wait!!

Radiator fits all nice

Decided to give it a bit of fresh air!




Power Steering brain's all back in

Handy adjuster!

ECU is nicely tucked away on rubber struts behind the dashboard (which should be here next week!)

Ooh getting a bit more rally!!



Put some of the switches I got on a makeshift panel to mock it up and test before fitting to the dash and it all going wrong

Awesome colour as well, and I can't wait to see it finished completely, I think the correct phrase is the dogs boll*cks!!
