hey chris just so you know i'm not heading to tote anymore so if your still around we could have a yarn?

anyway over the last few days i have laid some new carpet, undersealed the coupe, and fitted a new chin that i got myself for christmas! I did it all at a mates workplace on the hoist, he was working on his ke35 and me on the coupe! good times! here's some pics!

got my dash back from being recovered today.. the guy is a GC and did a sweet job! did it for free aslong as I give his son tips on the wakeboard haha!
also painted the dash insert and steering column cover in a more original colour.

Now I have to find a passengers door card to steal the metal part of the top of it, then make a new particle board part then i'll get the door cards recovered properly too!

Bit of progress lately, over the last few days have wired in the megasquirt, connected up all the turbo lines, plumbed up the front mount, and done other little things that I cant remember..

Anyway.. got it going today! so i'm super pumped on it! at first it was blowing smoke out of the coils but i fixed that up and she started up! it was only running on 2 at first because 2 and 3 injectors are a bit shot I think. so i'll grab some new injector plugs tomorrow and a few spare injectors and slap em on and i'll see how she runs! then hopefully tomorrow i'll take it into the exhaust place to get them to make a dump pipe and fit the wastegate it. i'm not sure if i want them to do a 3" full exhaust or not at this stage..

have also hopefully sold my simmons wheels and have got some 14x8 rays mesh wheels that i'm going to refurb soon. i'll use the mesh wheels for some fill in wheels until i find some longchamps or mkII's or some other sick wheels that i can spend the simmons money on..

cheers mate! yeah? i'll be out at my mates farm where i'm working on the datto at the moment, if i get it running half decent i'll drive it out to the state highway and see you guys cruising past. I'm guessing you'll be heading to the ferry?
