That is a MOT fail

I know you think they look shit, so do I proper fast and furious

Maybe Calibra gauge panel thing in the place of the ash tray

I been to popular on photobucket this month so the bandwidth has been exceeded I'll have a look when it resets should be soon!

I don't want gauges low because you can't see them and then what's the point of having them?

There a little on the big side. But nothing to really complain about.

Nic says he had to dremel, cut and grind bits of the linkage, the engine mount bolt and the mount. I am going to try straightening the bend in the linkage itself a little.

just edited the size of all the pictures so hopefully they're not massive anymore

Got more done on Monday night was bit of a late one, lost track of time next thing i knew it was 1am whoops

First off the new sprayed covers



Then i fitted the rocker cover inc new gasket and stainless cap head bolts




Fitted the wings back on including chrome bolts




Then i replaced the fuel rail with my painted one (as the chrome one was shit and the plug cover is going)



fitted coil



and my new track wheels Comp MO 156115x6j et49 (which i bought from broster, thanks once again)

First thing i did was remove the tyres and send them to be refurb at "Lepsons"

picked them up today, finished product





Thats all for now, hopefully more tomorrow

Cheers

Very nice. Maybe one of us should put a thread up and try and sort some pics of the various ways of modding the linkage?
