You will definately need to add venting of some sort to the drivers side inner wing - you can do this in many ways, m vents may just make it a bit easier.

You have to do it as the radiator ends up on the opposite side of the engine bay.

the grill looks great ! car sems to be really coming together !!!

slowly but surely

glad I didnt rush it though - could have made a couple of big errors that have only come to light by taking time and thinking properly. And my buddy john telling how to do things properly !!

wiring is finished - it turns over from the ignition key now !!

we should be able to finish the fuel lines, oil lines and top water hose really quickly now and I hope to see it running very shortly.

here you can see the final position of the box housing the ecu, ambient air sensor and relays, with the remote oil filter mounted on the surface

also the fuel filter and pressure regulator mounted onto the mesh on the inner wing. Mesh helps with air circulation, keeps filter cool and was easy to fit. A stainless steel panel will be added later.

you can also see how the angle on the tail of the exhaust manifold isn't quite right so we have had to make up a short section of pipe with an 11 degree bend in it.

looking good mate, good to see another one of darrens kits sold and I will have to keep an eye out for you now I know ur local to me

John and I put quite a few hours in tonight, and except for the top radiator hose, oil pressure sensor and a damned good clean - the noisy end of the car is pretty much finished.

John has also made good progress with the dash wiring and has indicators in place and the first guages hooked up.

I made myself useless by mainly putting graphics on tonight - and sorry pro-mo, the big sticker on the air filter had to go.

Still waiting for remainder of guages, gear position indicator, fuel return junction / pipe and a couple of other minor bits.

I'm still very, very excited
