wow! christ knows how long i've been reading this, feels like forever! I remember getting stuck into my project, writing it up and then reading you starting your project, fliping ages ago! well done fella.

At least you've started again!

Thought it was about time is posted an Update

The things ive been doing recently are:-

Cleaned and sprayed the bulkhead and Re-run the fuel pipes under the car

(This pic is courtesy of Bec!!)


Yes i know the subframe still needs sorting, It will get powder coated along with other bits in the future, for now its doing its job.


Added some bars for the harnesses (other harness still to fit) and this is also where the bulkhead will attach to.


Order some metal to make a bulkhead (and the next special project!!)
I was cut to approximate length by the supplier so i should just need to shape the edges.


and 1000 rivets to attach it!!!


and i even put in the front carpet for the fayer. (and its already dusty!!!!)


Ive bought some suspension bits but will post a pic when they turn up!! (hopefully tomorrow!!!!) Its nothing drastically special but it should help handling.
Just waiting on a second floor member to be able to mount my seats when ive done my bulkhead!!!

Yyyeeeeaaaayyyyy! Olive is the work of a genius! I'm still in love with the dashboard and have you decided where abouts you're going to put her name in rivets?

Keep up the top work Ed

[ed4ran]

Is that the dashboard or the dials? The dashboard is only temporary until i buy another one (after i get a job )
I may rivet it in the door but only when i come to replace them!!!!

[Bec]

Yep it's whats in the dashboard

[Bungle]

looking good

[ed4ran]

I dont think i ever actually posted a proper picture of the dials!!

[Pandora]

Thats true, you haven't i dont remember you taking any

[ed4ran]

I guess i should post one then

[Bec]

Dashboard says 'Hello Michael, I mean Ed, swoosh swoosh' Knight rider stylee

Yum!

[Jammy]

Ha ha, no way. Did I already know you were using that dash? How did you go about converting it? I know that its quite complicated to do when using it on other Honda engines! I was going to send mine of to Mark Lammond soon, but I'm lamenting the £180 bill at least to convert it!!

[ed4ran]

lol, yeah you did know, because i posted secretly on your thread!!
Ive still got to sort out some of the bits, but the speedo and rpm work, as well as most of the lights.
I just have to sort the Temp and fuel gauge (need a fuel sender to start with).
I did talk to Mark about it, but he said it would cost alot and wouldnt be worth it and that i should just get some other dials
So i did it anyway. Got a speedo corrector and it works fine, seems pretty accurate.

I hate people that are just negative for the sake of it!
