good work mate , if i remember right im sure the pedals need fitting before the steering rack, also it it just the pic or is the brake servo look a little crap (thats the only bad thing about making such a clean shell, everything has to be as clean when going back on )

so i have done a few things this weekend
more fuel system has come


loom warped the wires inside the fuel tank and but all that together


fitted new washer bottle


fitted steering rack gaiter and back plate. ignor what looks like rust, its just the rubber seal


new rear brake calipers, brake pads and fitting kit




also i had the axle back from powder coating and my whileline anti roll bar come and built it up


ready to go on the car




and all fitted





looking at it i might have to knock the iner rear arches in to clear the coilovers but will set coilovers and have another look!

Looking fantastic matey the car is a credit to you

Having to hit the rear arch in is the reason why I ordered GAZ Golds in damper form.

I spoke to Warren at Gaz and they don't warrant the rear Coilover if fitted without a turret due to the potential damage if it hits the shell during movement. Also there isn't any benefit of a Coilover on a fixed beam.

See if you can swap them for Gaz Gold dampers before you butcher the arch
