So still gathering parts. Priced spraying so theres a big push on now. Need to get a move on been sitting on my ass with it long enough.

Sprayed the roof liner black


Picked up a rb25 gearbox conversion. Just need to modify the prop:


Picked up this Dmax style roof spoiler off Dori_Rory in exchange for a few defi's I had. Unbelievable fit with this. Well chuffed. Also waiting on a Dmax boot spoiler from Martin Lenane at the minute and a set of Group N lightweight manual wing mirrors to arrive from England and then thats all the body parts got:




Also picked up this power steering fluid alloy reservoir. Only one Ive ever seen.



Then the missus got me this for valentines so has the inspiration big at the minute ta get it back on the road.

Got the engine out ready for building and stripped the underneath of the car. Sent it off for sandblasting and below are the results. Car is now getting painted down in Waterford. Cant wait ta finally get it back. 4 years of talking about it and its finally happening. Should have it back in a month. No other real updates yet parts wise. Gona buy all the engine rebuild bits next.

So the car is still down with Flip Morrissey in Waterford. Hopefully have it back in about two weeks. Been tipping away touching up a few bits with paint myself just to tidy them up. Also tackled the rocker cover just to see how it would come out. Was relatively happy with the finish. Will do for a while anyway.

Fuel tank before and after:

Also picked up an old school Apexi rev/speed meter for cheap money in England. Looking for one of these for a long time.

I'd love to say yes but I doubt it Matt. Will hopefully have it back together at that stage but I doubt it'll be mapped and nct'd. But should be up there anyway for a social beverage
