but here goes. Things have moved far slower than i planned, had to make some harsh buisness decisions that sapped not only the funds but time :-(
Dash / Floor Plates all mounted up ready for powder coating:
Fuel Pumps In:
Rear Suspension Back on, i switched back to the stock arms with new poly bushes.
Heat Shielding back in
Time to tackle the wiring-I lost count how long this took to sort out
Got some paint on floor plates / feet plates. Final fit of the dashboard and the Aim Dash
This is where i started to get excited, at last things were starting to be powered up and tested. Yep it took a while to make the switch panels
We Have life. Dash all working along with everything else, only thing missing at the moment are the reverse lights which are not coming on when reverse selected. Prob something silly but well happy
Starting to fitting the mk2 bodywork
So thats where we are at the moment, still waiting for the rear brakes but not that fussed as its not going on the road this year but defo going to be ready for spring next year. If i can i may even get it mot'd and some miles on the motor before then.
I had planned to pay someone to build the engine loom but i've now decided to tackle it myself, i mean how hard can it be
waiting for the new connectors to arrive and i have already stripped the BAM loom of all thats not needed so with a bit of luck it may even get fired up during xmas providing i can also get the fuel filler neck routed to the outside.
cheers

Paul the level of detail is stunning! I just wish I had a garage my zed would fit. I have to do my work on the driveway. Cannot wait to see and hear this. Superb!
Been a little while but thought i'd post a little update, now i have some time to myself this Bank Holiday.
A few little set backs but only to be expected. I had to strip down the dashboard again after discovering a couple of problems with the K6 and the AIM Dash, both had to be shipped off for updates / repairs.
Both arrived back after a couple of weeks with the added benefit of the K6 being upgraded to the new 6+ Spec.
Added A Nice Logo To AIM Startup
C&C Engineering Made Me Up Some Custom Mounts For The Wheel Speed Sensors
Vented Fuel Filler Cap
Reyland Rear Brakes Added
A Few Mods Were Needed To Use The Stock Handbrake Cables Had To Use 2 x Offside Cables as N/Side is 15mm Longer
Would Of Been Easier To Use The Wilwood Cables TBH!
Rear Door Stripped Ready For Fuel Filler
Vented Filler Cap Added
Fuel Cell Plumbed In
Brakes have all been bled and no leaks
On To Programming the Dash & ECU and we are ready to try and start the motor. I intend to ask emerald to connect up and check over my setup before a start is tried.
Front Doors and Bonnet Have Been Dropped With Lee Costello To Replicate In FBglass or Carbon if Budget Allows
Keep You Posted How It Goes.
Cheers
Paul
