Quick update, engine is comming together now, alot of the fabrication work is now done, and waiting for piston rings I believe. Car is back done to Tim and the boys at Warrigul Panels to get the engine bay sorted out again, just getting rid of the battery tray and fuse box mounts now everything has been moved. Getting some rust around the windscreen sorted and the boot painted up the same as the insiode of the car aswell. Stef at spot on auto electrica, or 12 Volt customs as the new name is going to be, has finished up on moving a few things around, and pretty much rewiring the car and getting rid of all the crap not getting used. Few more weeks and i should have it basically back together, ready for parts to be HPC coated, then get it tuned.

No ore pics as yet, not to much has changed really, Ill get some pics of the boot and the bay when it comes back, the boys will have it for at least 2 weeks they tell me. I sick of putting estimates on when its going to be ready, no one ever works to the time frame they say they can, soo from here on, it will be finished when its finished, still alot of work to do, even when the car comes back and the engine is fitted.

ahh fair enough.. i know when building there isnt really an EXACT finish time due to always being stuffed around by panel shops/mechanics ect ect.. should look awesome when its finished though.. i dunno if you have mentioned it already but what interior is going in it?

Car and engine are back in the shed, unfortunatly sitting apart from each other at the moment. Warrigul Panels have out done themselves again with this thing, looks amazing in the bay now, all welded up smoothed out some more and fresh paint, boot has had the spare wheel well removed tidy and painted. Got the tank and cell back from geting polished, looks alot better now. Got soem work to do this weekend, hoping to have it ready to have the enigne back in once the mechanic is available. Ill get some more pics up tommorro.
