I do believe it's mainly the intercooler pipes and loom he's waiting on at the moment.

Rite ok thanks. Are they a pain to sort out then or to get hold of?

Got the car booked in at a local engineering company for the intercooler pipes, I don't have the facilities for aluminium welding, that will be first week in March. Now finished the last big project at work, so can start on the loom. Looking at testing at Llandow around Easter. Don't worry, there will be video

Beauty and the beast all in one wrapper, amazing read and after owning mine for 8weeks I now want to buy an angle grinder and a Shelby engine;-) (quote) ;-)? Can't wait to see the vids and the sheer pace, well done

 

[gtrnav]

Right, time for another small update. Intercooler pipes back from the engineers, but I forgot to get a photo before they went to the painters! Started on the loom, so a pic of lots of wires.....
dashboard installed, and brake bias control fitted on the column mounts behind the dash, plus I have made the little switch panel which will be beside the handbrake, for the battery master switch, the map changeover, and the centre diff control.

 

[gtrnav]

Nearly done folks!!!!!

 

[-J-]

Excited! Can't wait to see this complete.
