Looking well!
Good work dude, coming on fast.
The eyelets for the harnesses, they arnt just screwed in to a hole are they? As the floor plate metal isn't very thick...
Brake lines look great.
You get spreader plates with them as a kit mate, they go under the car floor, some have the nut welded to them too..Quote:

Ah cool cool, i know you can buy just eyelets so...
2nd the AX arm, very straight. I think i still have one if you want it..
Get some pics Benn :) I mocked up the standard Nova wiper with the longer blade from the 306 rear arm and it looked spot on though, so might just keep that (at least it parks a little lower down).
Yeah in the tunnel there's a large spreaderplate welded across the whole area to beef it up, and then the proper spreaders with welded nuts underneath that, so should be safe enough
Engine loom in (ignore engine sitting wonky doing something else atm):

Routed the loom back on itself and behind the inlet manifold:

And through the old servo hole. Also extended the multiplug in to the car to connect to my car loom:

On a quest to find some sort of dashboard, I decided to hack up a standard one to see how far off it was from fitting:

Weight saving (also makes it easier to chop up):

Chopped the ends off, extended the hole for the column, and it fits:

Issue is the dash is wonky (shows how much my column has moved):

So I could leave it there (and have the revcounter right in front of me, which is a bonus) or I can shift this over and make up a new plastic bit to fill the gap:

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
sorry but, why has the column moved..? quick rack? mounts?
Sod it bin the dash, go for a custom binnacle like Dar's one, and a switch/fuels bord panel etc.

but also not sure how youll sort this one out..
maybe replacing some of that metal re-inforcment, but bent slightly might curve the dash a bit..?
