Slowly making more progress. Got the fuel system all sorted today. Also got a nice new windscreen installed over the new year.

Keeping with the factory looking engine bay i managed to hide a fan in the factory shroud, also turns out the lower radiator hose from the car when trimmed fitted perfectly for the top hose!!!

Sorry for no updates lately, I brought a Hilux over the new year and have been doing a bit on that, doing heaps of 4wding so the fairlady went on hold unfortunately. The main glitch has been the headers, there isnt much room and nothing off the market will ever fit so i guess ive been procrastinating doing it. If anyone in christchurch owns a tig welder i could hire off them would be awesome? I recently did a block course for my apprenticeship on Welding and did a bit of tig so now feel real confident to make them myself just need the parts and welder. I got the hatch on today and passenger door so small things are happening but really need to get onto finishing it.

If you don't end up making your own headers I highly recommend hitting up Nick Murchison of Motorsport Fabrication Services he does some amazing exhaust work!
