worked on it for the first time in nearly three months.. i had a go at fitting the booster and master cylinder and never has anything tested my patience like this did today. Three hours trying to put it in place..... Felt like an absoloute dumbass, threw in the towl and called it a day. A mate thats a mechanic is coming over in the arvo and sorting it out for me! Have decided it's best that he just does it!

Haven't posted in here for a while. When i get back from holidays ill be taking the motor out and re-doing the whole bay, and while its in the process of gettin painted D'Annello have enough time to assemble everything and get it ready for its final motor drop in and tune!
Im also club reg'ing it as of easter! I've paid the rego on it for three years and driven it twice, as it's suited for weekend only drives which is perfect for me! $132 rego a year, can't go wrong!
Will be going e85 and changing it to an external gate and i hope to pull mid to high 300rwkw through a manual and GTX35. I'd say mid-year for completion is right on time
