*Update time*

So the car is still at SW having lots of work done, it's been there just over 3 weeks so hopefully I should get it back relatively soon... he did say a week but obviously don't want anything to be rushed so playing it cool for now.
There will be another update to follow but this one is to cover the work I did before I dropped it off.

Like last time, I'll try not to write too much and tell the story with pictures where I can:

This is the continuation of my cold air feed...

Light weight fuel hatch release cable:

Just to show the vent holes... the MK2 grille was just a temp fix while the mesh was away getting powder coated. MK1 grille is back on now (no pics yet though).

Look at this pile of scrap...

Sheared bolt 1 of 1 thankfully

Next there be fire.

Then some presents came.

Then remember that scrap?

She got a thorough undersealing while I was at it, minus 10 racecar points for added weight

Did a bit of gardening in the wing first though...

Going back together

Complete aircon system completely removed, absolutely everything: This is where the compressor used to live and the pulley, running the shorter belt works a treat.

More weight saving inside, all window mechanisms and motors gone along with a large proportion of door skin. Windows secured with old seatbelt, will do fine until I get some polycarbinate windows but that can wait for the weight it will save (crash bars are staying)

Seats back in:

Lets not forget her mate...

And that's where she was up to. Ran out of time to take more pictures of the front sus set up but they can come later.

Can't wait to get her back now... watch this space.
