Wow. What an epic thread. Can't wait to see the next updates.

How about moving the battery to the boot?

Excellent work, absolutely cracking thread!!

Thank everyone! It's been a lot of work over the 2 years I've had it but it coming together very nicely.

In regards to the battery relocation, I am working on the body work for now to get that done and out of the way, then before I take it to paint, I will be tearing down the engine and doing some engine work and will do the relocation at that time. Have an interesting idea on how to connect everything in the engine bay to look semi stock though and will see if I can get the parts for it to pan out.

Stay tuned!!

Well, I have decided to continue with the red theme. :P

Here are some pics with the front bumper attachments and rear bumper attachments.

For this rear end picture, I was wondering if I should
- try to extend them to the exhaust bit on both ends
- or just to the exhaust bit on the drivers side and the same length on the passenger side
- or just leave them the way they are

What are your thoughts?

Also I finally finished the LED conversion for the dials and got the dials I needed for KM/H and a diesel tach.

Also fitted the boost gauge and just need to run the wiring for the Oil Pressure gauge too and then that is complete as well.

So what do you guys think of the work so far? Also for the rims, what are your thoughts on powder coating vs. paint?

Excellent work there, really coming on! I would definately go powercoat over paint, finish should be tougher
