Thanks for the comments guys.... have to thank my father in law for the turbine housing took him bout 6 hours to sand off the casting marks Interior still needs extensive fibreglassing before i take anymore pics of that only done rears seats, parcel shelf. Front door trims only have first layer of fibreglass still. I might have a pic of that some where, if i find it ill post one. Are looking at starting the sub box soon which will hold(if theyll fit) 4 12's in between rears seats and have to make fibreglass surround for the seat base and sides... anyway thanks again guys dave

hey all sorry havent been on for a while been getting stuck into the car I have just finished fitting the microtech lt12s and the x6 igniter box(running 6 coils) rebuilt engine harness.
The best news is that i started it last week yay.... after 3 years of sitting it backfired and started straight up couldn't believe it. they say thats the best moment of a rebuild and their not wrong.
Still havent got new radiator for it.. pwr are building one with -20 anodised fittings for radiator hoses. (the radiator in the pics is an ace one, and is for sale if interested, it hasnt even had coolant put in it yet and has been repolished too. pm me if interested)
So i havent driven it yet as no cooling system and no front struts at the time... but thats wat im doing at the moment.
The coilovers are now in and underguards repainted black too. fuel reg and lines are all fitted too.
Will put in 040 intank pump and 044 external with surge tank next week.. if i have time
anyway i wont bore u anymore heres some pics
All the spark leads are hidden as well. coils are on custom brackets under manifold
Thanks for all your comments so far guys.. will try and keep post updated a bit more.. cheers dave
