soonish...well maybe...probably

Diff has arrived at TEG Sport, should be done next week; interior has arrived with Phil at Flock It, should be done by Friday AND I have two possible DCCD looms. I'm not holding my breath but it all sounds good

Ironically Gus two turned up in a week and one was only 90minutes from my house! I've already got a buyer for Deans' loom and let him know so sorted all round...thanks again for your help

And here it is...


Stripped, quite a bit of waste!


All I needed...i'm going to remove the connector blocks and solder\shrink wrap the wires. All I need to do then is work out where to splice some cables in.


My interior parts have been finished at Wicked Coatings...stoked they look awesome. They are already on thier FB page but I will post some photos once they arrive and the abuse can start

Trev if I had nothing else to do I'd have finished it by now...honest

Thanks Floyd, I'd say until you take this kind of build on it's far too easy to underestimate how many disparate threads there are to pull together to make it work!!
