Its getting there thanks. Im prepping the body for paint over the next week.
I have been under the car trying to remove the heater lines which are located above the fuel tank. I would recommend trying without a hoist as its very difficult.
Not to long to go now!

Steve, car's looking awesome.. progressed heaps since I saw it when I grabbed that A/C stuff off you at the start of this year! Did that crazy woman end up leaving the share house you were in? [88]
Had a quick question for you - I remember you handing me one of the original wheels that was on the car to show how light they were, and I remember them being really wide too - any idea what they were called? And do you still have them?

Thanks for the feedback and yes I did escape the madhouse with the help of Tenency tribunial!
I still have the rims, 15" front and 17" rear. They will both be sold soon as they have been replaced with a set of Enkei's arriving soon.
I also found a supplier for formed carbon fibre sheet which will be used for the console and dashface.
$150 for 500mm x 500mm.

I finished off the radiator ducting yesterday. It is basically a front wing for the car concelled as an air duct. Very handy considering I have removed over 100kg's from the front of the car! $1200 installed for people interested. The catch is 'not spare tyre'.. I also fabricated then fitted a intercooler scoop which may be changed in time. Its not show quality but does work.

Looking great Steve.. that front end looks like it's ready to eat small children, elderly people, and various woodland animals. [88]

It does look hungry!
I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel now. This weekend will see a few more important boxes ticked. The dash will be changed to Carbon fibre next week along with a few other goodies. Wheel spacers, alloy nuts, longer stud bolts, camera as the vision is pretty poor and prep for paint.
Here is a slideshow of various parts of the build.

Well it does look a bit ratty at the moment! The scoops will be upgraded in the future but the home made ones will have to do for the interim.
Once the paint and decal are done and a better spot for pic's is found there will be a better view of the car.
The dash has been remodelled in CF and new gauges are fitted which looks trick. Tomorrow we are doing the final touches to wiring and a few other suspension tricks. Im aiming for paint next week.
Thanks for the feedback
