im back but against doctors orders!!! whoops
Its been far to long since ive been able to do any work to my car due to my back injury
ive been told by the doctor not to do any bending or lifting but ive not done anything to the car in 2 months so i had to get back into it.
Today was spent putting the wiring loom back in and the daskboard and also managed to get the roll cage back in.
That bit done i was still left with this lots to find a home for!
So not to be beaten i left the wiring at that for today lmao!!!
I then put the pedal box back in also the clutch cylinder and the brake servo.
That done onto the rollcage which was pretty simple task.
so that was about it for today.
Here are some more picture taken today.

A little bit more done!
Its been a couple of months since i last updated thats because im still under doctors orders regarding my back,that said i have done some small jobs to my car.
Ive got some massive 6 pot ap racing brakes for the front and i will be up grading the rear as well so ive put in a brake bios valve
Ive stripped the front end completely as the steering rack was leaking so im going put my spare one on im also going to put new ball joints and track rod ends just as a matter of course ive ordered poly bushes for the front so they should arrive this week.
then it was time to clean everything
BEFORE
AFTER
I have been buying parts and now have a good amount ready to bolt on so hoping now to pick up some speed on the project whilst being very careful with my back doc, HONEST
Also got a nice stack of tarmac race tyres ready
Next purchase has to be a turbo and uprated oil pump plus a sump baffle then the engine can go back in
money tree in my back garden still isnt growing so gotta save
thats it for now!!!!!

Looking nice and clean. Like the mounting posistion for the bias valve, i have mine under the bonnet which makes it a bit of a pain to play about with. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get you're braided lines made up?

Ive managed a few more hours on the car i completely stripped the rear end diff out,driveshafts off,tie bars off,coilovers off all ready for cleaning and inspecting and poly bushes fitted where needed the car came with sti rear tie bars which have rose joints in so no need to replace those as there as good as i think you can get.
Ive also decided to cut the the spare wheel well out and make the boot floor flat and have a rear difusser.
My pipe clips arrived so i have now secured the braided brake pipe to and from the brake bios valve.

been doing some work on the car today mainly cleaning and painting parts.
Ive order poly bushes and had hoped they would have arrived this week but only half came, so it will be next weekend before i can start putting the suspenion and drive train back together.
24mm adjustable antiroll bar is on order as well, so that should be here next week, i already have a 22mm adjustable for the front.
I had a helping hand today so would like to say many thanks to scott for giving up his time.
