short update again. still waiting for the new starter ring. flywheels been lightened and balanced. if no joy by th weekend were going to strip theflywheel and starter ring out of another engine so we can run the gt engine up on the rig and check for any oil/water leaks. hopefull the gt is getting picked up tomorrow to go back down the paint shop. in the mean time we have been scouring our sheds and workshop for items like servo nd pedal box seat mounting brackets and fuel and brake lines. managed to turn up some decent front to back brake and fuel lines so these have been painted. 

 we have also started to build up the front subframe. 

 that it for tonight.

small update.

 whilst the gt is back in the body shop we are cleaning and priming bits and bobs ready for painting. 

 once they have been degreased we sprayed them with high build primer. 

 tomorrow we are going to wet sand them to bring them up nice and smooth then paint them 2 pac black and steel wheel on the brake servo. I ended up painting the pedal box with rattle cans as it was in good nick so just flatted it off and sprayed it. 

 next we cleaned up a pair of radius arms and painted them with acid etch primer. 

 lastly the radiator cowling was cleaned up. when id stripped the paint i realised that it was aliminium so decided to polish it up. started of by removing the paint, then started sanding from 600 through to 1000 then buffedthem up on the polishing wheel. it started out like this 

 and ended up like this. 

 then painted the inside of the cowl gloss black. thats it for today. hope for more tomorrow.
