Yeah, me and dad arnt thAt good at tidy lol,

Once dads finished the wiring for the mega jolt and we've run fuel and brake lines and put the interior in (still waiting for my headlining from retro retrims.

So hopefully will be done soon

Well we started putting brake and fuel lines in, joined the 2 tanks together after shortening and bending the pipe to fit. We then started bending the fuel line for under the car but realised I didn't have the flexi pipes for either end.

So we started on the brake lines and connecting pipes and got the the flexi hoses on all round, the marster cylinder bit on and the pipes on the rear subby.
So just need to bend and run the pipe from front to back and between the front brakes

Sorry no pics

This is coming along really well! I'm interested to know how well your shifter works as this is something I'm interested in doing. Keep at it!

[yeti21586]

Well I can select gears, lol but how well it works when driving etc I wont no till we get the beasty 1098 of an engine running lol.
Still need to put grommets in the floor were the gear linkage and steady go through.

Thanks for the encouragement, the end is in sight but yet seems so far away!

Coming along nicely, If im brutally honest I don't like your headlining but if you like it that's all that matters.

[yeti21586]

It's not to everyone's taste, but I don't like dull things and headlinings are normally sooooo boring, or things that have been done before so I stole/copied and the adapted and modified a paper chase design.

I like it and as you say that's all that matters

Thanks for the encouragement

Only just seen this, colour is awesome and those wheels are just fantastic.

I know it was a present but I don't suppose you know how much the steering wheel boss was? I want a removable one!
