I'm starting to think that Andy must shit money with the amount he's spent on this thing!
If he does I'm gonna ask him to start using my toilet!!!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

This is a fantastic build. Love the colour choice and great idea with the new fuse holders. Ive bookmarked that supplier for when my engine comes out. My car seems to have random fuse holders floating around the engine bay, needs a serious tidy up.

Do you have a planned year of completion? haha

Thanks. I plan to have it on the road in the next month assuming the engine build stops giving me shit...

To be honest, there's nothing worth taking a picture of.... I've got the replacement remote central locking in and working nicely (what a bitch that was). Wired in the lecky windows and nearly finished the wiring on the dash area. Just of out to stick the mirrors on.

Was hoping to crack on with the engine, but John never appeared...

OK, maybe the mirrors are worth a picture. *smiley*




I got this central locking kit:

http://www.aseriesspares.co.uk/alarms-/-se.../prod_1171.html

The instructions where shite and it was a right pain in the arse to get setup properly, but now I've spent hours fucking round it works well. I previously had generic solenoids and swinging bars, but that was shit too...

I've got those mirrors :)

They've been great, but recently the 'carbon' has lifted to reveal a plastic shell and the glass fell out of the drivers side one.

Good point is the rear visibility is great compared with the tiny bike style types.

Where did you get them?

Got them of ebay. They are proper carbon fibre. Safe to say, they weren't cheep...

She´s not impressed with the pictures of the engine parts in the dish washer. I guess your not married. If you are...
