Thanks for the kind words guys!

Nostromo - I made that mistake on literally every panel I upholstered!

Most of the work has come together since Christmas - before that it was quite slow and mainly roll cage, hence the big gap in update - it just looked so samey to keep the updates coming! The big moneyshot was really in the last 2 weeks!

Badrep - As others have said, your 3D printing work and the interior in general is setting a very high standard.

Good luck, Paul.

Thanks Guys!

Small update, engine is in, driveshafts back in place, all crossmembers, arms, and exhaust are back in place amking the car mobile. All I need to do is put the wheels on, bleed the brakes and clutch and get out the garage. Then I can start on the body finally!




There's also a nice amount of space for a turbo here (hehehe)

Looking good buddy! Tidy job. That's a 2zz? Nice clean looking sub frame down there too. Apparently they have a very bad habit of eating themselves from the inside.

It might be worth your while getting that enormous air filter out of the engine bay a bit.

Haha - the subframe has been cleaned... but it far from clean - I didn't bother painting it as I think I'll get a replacement!

Yup - it's a 2zz. I'm hoping to turbo it over the winter as well so should go like the clappers when done

Finally had a chance to clear the garage (LOL 'clear' the garage!) and get the body on in it's mocked up position.

Still on stands:





Then off the stands, maneuvered into a better position and the body placed on top.













Things are going to get exciting soon!
