Yes, forgot to update the thread.

Below is where I am with it at the moment.

Hoping to have it finished, run in and mapped by end of next weekend.

Well, seeing as I've had a few days off work I decided it was time to have another push at getting the car closer to completion and therefore headed up to see Gaz.

Massive thanks to Sy for loaning me his trailer and helping me get the car loaded so I could set off.

Before i forget I also have to say a massive thanks to Ciaran for loaning me his wheels so it was easier to get the car on the trailer as my wheels are pretty wide buggers. Thanks Ciaran.

Got all the charge pipes and rotated kit welded up and as per usual, Gaz did a great job on them.



And one of the man himself in action

Made some holes in the rear bumper so any air that potentially goes over the diffuser has an escape route and doesn't turn the diffuser into a parachute





Both sides done



Not only very functional but also enhances the look of the whole the rear end. Will finish it off with some black mesh.

Coilpacks wired up



Dry sump all plumbed in



As it stands at end of play today



Would say about 90% there now. Waiting on a few fittings and hoses, couple of bits of wiring, finish the exhaust and a few other odd jobs. Can't wait to get it finished now and fired up and run in. After almost 3 years i just want to get in it and start having some fun. Its been a long journey but the end is finally in sight.

Thanks Gaz and Steve @ GR for all the hard work.
