Really jamming it all in there, is it stressing you at all? Everything with it seems to tie in perfect, i cant wait to see it with the berlina pin striping on! Stoney will tell you that last time I was pulling my hair out with stress, largely because I was, but this time around it's not so bad. It won't be ready for the Sydney event (though it will still be there) which means I'll have to debut my offensively Sydney styled car (custom yellows, door moulds and everything) at Melbourne C4C Depending on how quickly we can organise it the pinstriping should be on for this weekend. Once again, if it's not then no stress, it'll all be wrapped up come Melbourne C4C Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It starts! Went around to Pro Street after work and the car was just about done. The engine bay is completely wired, with the lot hidden, and the boys were putting the finishing touches on the ECU wiring. The car was kicked over at about 8.30pm last night - first go, ran smoothly and sounded hot. No hiccups, as they say...but seriously, there were none. Anyway, here's a photo of the bay: And the boys finalising the ECU wiring: The wiring for the ECU is being tidied up this morning meaning I'll get the car back this arvo, then I can start putting it together for the weekend Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That's a big word Charles, too big for you. If you didn't have spell check I have little doubt you would have mispelt it. Stick to words you know the meaning of.

The Plazmaman boys have been under the pump so I don't think much progress has been made on the cooler pipes. From their shop though it's only a quick stop at Pedders, chuck the tailshaft I had built in and then it's driveable! First drive will be on a Saturday afternoon in an industrial estate with a culdesac in close proximity. 4.11s, spool, five speed, no pipes and fresh 19s. See ya tyres!

Plazmaman rang and said the car should be ready for pick up on Wednesday. I'm geed because I haven't seen it for a few weeks - I've deliberaetly been abstaining so that when I see the finished product I blow out! It'll go straight to Pedders Bankstown from there for the full suspension build and with any luck, the first drive. Should have some updated pictures this week Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
