I'm onto the boring bits like wrestling the suspension apart and getting the engine bay nice and clean(ish).

Don't suppose you've got a part number for those Landy oil return firrings have you Ant?

Waiting on my MS to arrive and currently scratching my head as to where the water bottles are going to go, not sure if the elec pumps will have enough power to run them from the boot, gonna have another go this week.

Then I'm getting some nice new sticky Yokohamas A520's to see if I can get some grip when she's all fitted and running.

And pay off the last few debts related to this project, then fit the lot!! :D

waiting for frosted to come up with the supercharger, he seems to have things well under control (nice one frosted!) then the real project will begin.

Hope you had a good time in the states.

Thing is my downpipe may run a little close to the battery tray anyway so it may not be far enough away to avoid meltdown and I don't really fancy having them in the car itself so boot maybe the only place for them to go.....still I'll have fun in the evenings this week sorting this out :D

Welcome back Ant!
Sport is no more complete than she was 2 months ago. Shes on full "Stop" at the moment, as I dont have the money to finish her AND pay for my trip to USA later in the year. Unfortunately, the trip comes first in the list of priorities, as its a building block to my future career. The car looks tidy in the garage though, and its nice and dry in there, so shes not going rotten again or anything. Got another breaker to be going on with too! Hopefully thats gonna pay for part of my USA trip if i can get rid of some of the bits! Not going well so far though, hense me deciding to flog my 3.64 LSD to get some cash.

Where did u go anyway? Business or Pleasure? :wink:
