Started to put the fuel system in place:


Got the tank up in position and bolted up. Need to mod the old fuel pump plate for the aeroquip fittings then fueling is all finished.

Manifolds are now holding me up tbh. Going to try and do most of the wiring tomorrow if i feel motivated enough as its a shit job but it aint going to sort itself out!

Are you using the standard pump to fill the swirl pot and then the Aeromotive pump to feed the engine; or is that a pump on the right in the bottom pic?

Using a Holley Blue lift pump to fill the swirl pot.

Got to mod the bit inside the tank to remove the pump and fit a piece of bar in its place.

Quaife turret fitted and front suspension going on:


Need to make a proper start on the wiring which is going to be a pain in the arse.

Nope it works the other way round to a stock vauxhall shifter so all the gears are in the same place. Gears are now really tight but think it will do box's in for fun!

I was thinking the same. So much so I had to go and check my gearbox to try and figure out how it worked

Managed to get the car wiring loom 90% finished today, i just need to add the central locking loom and remove the electric window wiring from that sub loom.

Collecting my inlet manifold on tuesday so i will soon have the ECU loom braided and fitted so its full speed ahead.
