Been working flat out recently probably doesn't look alot but its so close now
Picked my last parts up from powdercoating. Shafts with some new CV's. Built them up and fitted and fitted my new knuckles with VW/Audi wheel bearings (No pictures, shocking I know)
Steve finished off the dashboard loom
Made nylon spaces for the dash to be mounted
Added felt tape to the inside of the carbon not to vibrate
Fitted to see how it looks with trim surround
Plugged to and powered up to test, Screen needs to be setup to display all features still
Then got onto fitted the engine loom, mounted the fan fuses and relays out the way
A few snaps, we tried to hide as much as possible within reason!
Baffled catch tank with -8 fittings
Mounted
How the line will go, need to order 90 swept for the catch tank
How I left it, ready to turn over tomorrow to get oil around and do setup for starting....

Yer its very busy in there but its function over form!
Unreal going Doctors Thursday  Might be serious
Been mental couple of days.... I rebuilt the front end, wings and bumper. My current bumper I ruined cutting to far but i fitted to get me for mot tomorrow.
Made a temp catch tank put wire wool in there to help
Time for some gearbox oil would been easier to do this before oil cooler was fitted but oh well
Tool for the job
Fitted gps wiring for dash, gps was hiden under boot carpet
Tapped into dimmer switch for dash to dim with interior illumination
Steve came over we sorting timing etc, cranked with plugs out to check good oil pressure with fuel disconnected. Then primed the fuel system to check for leaks, all was good! This was also done with feed disconnected at rail to check lines were clear! There was also lots more calibration but I will be here forever writing about it....
Before start up safety first...
little shot of the laptop checking the whats been logged after the car had been run for a bit, it took a long time tinkering etc...
Another shot of dash with car running
then once everything was double checked it was off for quick lap round the block just checking it was safe to drive to mot station tomorrow, few tweaks here and there and now he is ready for tomorrow...
Still along way off but its a positive step....
