SO I got a bit done today.

But I possibly took three steps back - I snapped a spade terminal off the starter motor, which is obstructed by the manifolds, exhaust and turbo :(
I am hoping my auto elec mate can solder a wire on instead so I don't have to rip it all to bits to replace the starter.

I also chopped a fair bit out of the front guards which I think will help with the tyres rubbing around corners. If this is successful, I will lower the front end to its old height :)

Good to see you got your mo-jo back Andrew. I reckon keeping motivated on any project ....car/house etc is the hardest part.
Looks to be plenty of other projects around you, to keep you sidetracked
Keep on it mate :thumbsup:

Getting sidetracked is the biggest problem Ben - those pictures don't show the 3 others cars at our unit also looking for attention :x

nice pedal hahaha you need to bend the top bracket (underneath) so the cable is straight otherwise you may have snapping issues when you step on it! consider a spacer inside as well to give you as little more room of the rail

Hey mate,

Nice setup however Holley fuel pumps are meant to be mount vertically. I think it is so fuel doesn't accidently run into the electric mount and go boom.

Regards,

Brad

Didn't get to work on the car today - decided to clean the workshop instead. It was getting pretty feral!

I should be able to complete all wiring tomorrow and then see about firing it up.
