Little bit of time spent on it today.. trying to do at least a day a week, but only 2hours so far this week, so not as much as I would have liked.
Checked and redid a few bolts up and mounted the battery and planned ecu location (just hiding in this pic in the drivers seat, but obviously wont be staying there lol), fuse box and relay box etc..
It goes slightly against weight distribuation and centre of gravity but decided to be as neat as possible, I can move at a later date if I feel the need but probably lower the centre of gravity more with a diet and haircut
As dash board lifts out with 4 bolts, everything is going to be up under the dash hidden but ecu and fuse box will pull down if required. Means wiring is damn short as ecu and battery and fuse box will be next to each other.

Looks like something Spiderman's nemesis, The Green Goblin, would 'fly'!
Also reminds me of
that Quality Street sweet.
