Just doing those little time consuming detail jobbies, part way through bending a focus handbrake cable mount into a bracket to hold the oil feed line closer to the turbo so it wont rub on the bonnet plate, wire so any vibrations and thermal expansion wont be an issue either
in place using the back end of the T clamp bolt
bonnet prepped and painted
not a job i was looking forward too, diff changed along with oil, gearbox oil and touching up some paint on parts
3.56:1 out 2/54:1 in
one of the new sparco seats and harness in, only just in place touches the roll cage, door and top pillar on just tho, driver seat will need custom brackets
mirrors coated and in place, passenger side is pretty useless and just there for legality but sides, interior and reverse camera should give me some help
bonnet in place without the plate
plate in place, used black semi large washered rivets like the mirrors to keep in with the ethos
not far off now, wish me luck talking to the insurance companies

90% of the car was drawn up like this and a bunch of other ones, scott made me up a fuel tank cover spacer
this will do perfectly, coated and avdoweled after pic
numberplate holder that bolts in to the grill and can be flipped out of view at shows or with enough wind at speed
needed some studded m12 bolts that i didnt have so made some, drilled a hole in head and pressed some m6 bolts in on the reverse
abover bolt and a little L bracket to hold the edge of the arch in place, not perfect or ideal but it will do
archs not bolted in place here but a wider view pic with all the bonnet on and mirrors etc, need to make a cooling plate under the bonnet that also pushes the top edge of the bumper up as the bonnet has wacked it and taken paint off

I bet the purists probably don't like this, but screw them! This thing looks like a blast!

This thing is insane. Definitely not a swap I would think of doing, but it looks like it will be a blast to drive. I like the mad max look you have going too.
