Cheers mate, hopefully get painted in the next few weeks as my mates got a unit to use now. Then get it back together, taxed, mot'd and back on the road. :)

Put the battery on charge yesterday, and re-routed the fuel pipe so the filter sits horizontal, so the fuel doesn't drain back, making it easier to start.

Today, my Dad is coming over to help wire a remote fan switch and hopefully we will get the engine all timed up.

And if we have time we will pre fit the front bib and rear spoiler. :)

Cables piggy backed off fan temp switch.

Gave the battery tray a couple of coats of stone chip to protect it.

Also re sprayed the speaker covers satin black, as didn't like them in gloss. Also gave the battery clamps a blow over.

That's a few more jobs off the list.

Picking up a bonnet tomorrow, and some rear lights (as one of mine has a crack in it). :)

Then hopefully next Saturday it's going to my mates unit to get prepped and painted. Then we'll get it all build up at the unit and mot'd. :D
