No picw today just a ded quick update interiour is fully back together (well the dash and all of that). Looms all cable tied up behind it. Nice and tidy. Just need to get my hubs and knuckles and the coolent hoses now and its going in (if anyone is selling any of them let me know!)
Oh and i need some new exhaust studs as the block is missing 2. And a new inlet gasket and a bolt for the gear linkage

Rust is sorted just not on the slam pannel. Thats getting sorted at a later date when neils got some time and ive got some money. More worried about getting it in and running than getting the slam pannel sorted for now mate
Been paid today so after ive bought peoples bloody xmas gifts ill be spending some money on the little bits i need before fitting it. Updates should be soon
