Time to post more than just pics now as been working all day.

Huge thanks to stew at tfs racing who has mounted turbos (made manifolds, uppipes, downpipes, etc).

Looking forward to seeing car in metal tomorrow and sorting out a few other bits and taking more pics

Removed front hubs, suspension and wheels

Nothing major.

Very busy mapping this week and next.

Possible stew at tfs racing where the car is has done work on it but I havent had time to call in and check or do any work myself.

Picked up radiator and was looking at ordering windscreen but nothing else.

A slight pause in proceedings for a couple of weeks perhaps

Where did your fibreglass arch extensions come from? (Sorry if I've missed it in a previous post, was checking out the shiny bits). I think i've got exactly the same, I wondered how they'd look on my GC8 then saw your car in York and loved the look. But was then annoyed I wasn't then being original!
