and a T-pull for the cutoff switch
waiting for caliper brackets to come back from the laser cutters to make my brake setup.

dropped the 180sx and escort over to Iain and he will fit and get the engine up and running for which helps alot as these jappers are a bit of a mystery to me.
my brake setup is all ready just waiting for the caliper brackets from the laser cutters still as they got severely flooded losing €€€€'s in equip. so just being patient
hopefully the next update will be running car.
