One more extinguisher nozzle fitted.
As recommended by @bloke pointing at fuel rail. all is left for extinguisher system is external pull. But will fit once windscreen/bonnet is in.
New tie rods arrived for 1.5dci rack.
Went with 320mm length
Also fitted smaller windscreen...

Hi guys.
Anyone know where can you source those little buggers? Refurbished my calipers few months ago but can not find those things anywhere..

Assembled and fitted subframe.
Fuel line completed
Extinguisher plumped in
Kinda wish I went with a bigger bottle with more nozzles.. maybe an electronic one as well. I guess I can alway upgrade later.
Still debating where to position engine bay nozzle?

Started on the brake lines and fuel lines.
Made a bracket for bias valve to go next to hand brake.
Fuel tank refited as well as all the components for the rear beam/suspension and brake lines connected
Decided I didn’t want to use jubilee clips and instead took fuel lines to local hydraulic...
Was a fun afternoon lads! Some great cars!!! I am glad my daily made over 400. Was fearing it would be less than mighty M2. Hopefully next time will bring my clio along. If I can finish it ha ha.

Now we cooking!!
Before I can tackle fuel and brake lines I though It would be wise to paint engine bay next.
After taking sealant off, I though why not seem weld around the strut supports for extra strength and remove few bits that I don’t need.
Decided not to go crazy with the chopping as...
Not a lot. But doable. Thinking either one of this will work.
Can easily fabricate some brackets to hold it in place securely.

Any chance you can show me where it says it? Just read the book I have and couldn't find it.. strange. I have the 2017 edition.
Scratch that, I think I found it.
