Bloody hell there are two good looking guys!!

Next time Jared you'll drive her and I'll try to keep up in the iS!!

The wiring is a bit of a nightmare - Im dealing with that now and I think I will be at it for a good long while before all the gremlins are worked out!

Thanks for the pic - I'll put her up in the garage!

Looking good Norm!!

That carpet came up awesomely, and the fresh painted wings and lip are looking superb - everything's coming up Milhouse!
Though theres always balance in everything and that wiring loom looks like a right pain in the arse lol.

Can barely believe those pics from the Cretaceous Period - what an epic journey this is. I reckon there's a glimmer of light at the end of this tunnel though!

Any news on the engine's progress?

Thanks amigo! Work is progressing nicely.. I will get my engine this Friday.. I will post juicy pics when I can...

Im fighting a few niggles with the car..electrical issues. No power to the blower fan nor power to the windows.. Ive gone through every possible scenerio and I "think" it may be an ignition switch problem.. Not sure but its the only thing left to check and its not exactly made clear when looking at the electrical diagrams.. Very interesting yet frustrating...

I think we are the only people on this site!!  ;D

Also under the bumbers the body work is ripple finish, undulating!

Or did you fill that and go smooth?

That steering linkage looks interesting, and it looks so easy without a engine or exhaust in the way.

Mine was a complete bit.h!!! Bolt it in the front holes then the back then ended up in back low spot with spaces above, then modify the exhaust to go around even though I was very care to use the slimmest steering components, didn't make a difference. Black rod with a pair of e32 steering knuckles.

I will be doing a lot of work the next couple of weeks - hopefully finishing up the car.. I'm not taking as many pics as before but I will keep you in the loop!


Why?

Why is engine Standard?

You rebuilt the entire car and the engine is STANDARD!
