Ordered the braided lines today, finally remembered what I did in the rear..a brass junction...also had to get a new set of Hurst linkages out of the States..the ones with the Toploader were a set of cut and shut std linkages...ugly.This thing is actually going to turn out pretty damn cool!

Thanks boys, Yeah the rear springs are 1" longer than the ones on No.1, will help with rear tyre clearence...its sitting on a funny angle there as well..will sit further when the Toploader and engine goes in...looks OK in the garage. I was thinking I am better to stick with what I know works in the suspension department, will add some extra $$ but it will be right from scratch.

MRNOS did it in acrylic...we then hand rubbed it down to remove the orange peel out of the clear coat with 2000 then buffed it to death to get a near perfect finish.

The monster K MAC is in, the rotors are back after having the big wheel studs fitted, need to redo the alloy brackets for the brake scoops...they sit right on the sway bar arm.

Motor still not finished, we couldn't get pistons so have fitted forged slugs. Problem is everyone goes on 4 weeks holiday here so the motor wont be in the car until end of January now.
Guess I just whip the Clubman motor out and fix that gearbox main seal leak.
