I brought these off eBay

Thought they’d be s**t tbh but turned out alright. I don’t like the plastic pull through mounts as I’ve had them break and the fan move on a track day.
All I needed to do was make 1 fin round, if that makes sense. Used a small flat head screw driver, made...
Oiler cooler, rad and fans all done now.
I brought some proper AN spanner’s to make life easier and fitted the larger oil filter to make it easier to remove.
Also started tided the inside up and started removing the steering column.

Finally got the fuel pump out the tank
That’s all so far, ordered a few little bits here and there to tie a few little jobs ticked off and decided on another change with the bits on route to me.
Currently finishing the fuel and brake lines, need to research and decide on wiring and...
Still at it ?
I’ve got hundreds of little fiddly time consuming jobs to do, which bore me slightly ? so looking at the next big mod instead which I prefer ?
Lacking time to progress some what which is distracting me ?
