A bits been happening.

battery tray gone from engine bay, engine in, gearbox in, ute diff primered, ute diff in,

car went to wals

2 coats of underseal done on underbody, custom gbox crossmember done, ute diff painted proper, exhaust this week/weekend, hopefully interior sprayed with a lick of paint too then kitch has no excuses left.

nick has taken my spare fuel tank (thanks brendan) and is going to create an in tank setup for me when i locate a metal cradle from a cefiro or similar (someone sing out if you have one)

john is creating my custom manifold and its looking soooo neat (based on the flanges iv seen so far)

been looking at ecu's for the itb ga16de setup with a lot of help from kitch regarding the megasquirt variety, nicks talked over a link product a little with me, just waiting on pricing from both scott at embedded design and jon? from spec.

lotta dollars getting used up quick with trying to be ready by september. but provided im sensible with my money i can make it.....i hope
