thats quite the stretch :deadhorse: provided the engine stuff works like it did when i pulled it apart then maybe, but unlikely :cry: plus that means windows back in etc and i have no funds to buy atm, if i got it running with seat etc i could really risk it and just run with my bike helmet on as well.???

Good work Luke - you are progressing nicely.
Be good to get front end back in, and motor back in the hole, as you will really fel like you are getting somewhere then ah.

you have come a long way in a short space of time - as we all know most projects on this site take years not months to complete!

due to unfortunate circumstances sterring has been delayed till...... whenever jeremy says he is free, but a certain somebody pionted out im overdue for a picture update, even if there is nothing new to report, bit of paint on callipers, bit of new stuff for struts, nothing joyous or triumphant

painted strut tower? with hubs and s13 disks attached, all new posh bearings etc.

He might be copying my strategy of not posting pics of all of them until the car gets reassembled, so that when the time comes he can be all "I CAN HAZ TEH SHINY".
That stuff is the icing on the cake, love your work Greg.
