well an appalling 6 months later i have news... i havent finished it yet!
but i havent quit either,ive got a bigger workshop and a nice new job (again lol)
ive been pushing on steady away with lots of little bits including;
all gauges/senders now working (with custom pod),
tidied up and cleaned a few bits underneath,and under bonnet
and ive made a centre console with a fuel cut-off key switch (mainly as a cheap security extra) fan overide switch and push button start - its made with real carbon too, the stuffs great id have everything carbon if it wasnt ridiculous prices to buy.
aside from this ive had to work on my newest daily hack for its MOT (very ghey mk3 astra 1.6ls) as the new job requires a 20 mile round trip everyday
heres a couple of little pics for those that actually remember the start of this project and im hoping to keep pushing on big time to get her done - if the weather eases as its shite!
thanks for looking

haha cheers wooly im sadly at the age where i need to buy a house etc so its not that easy to stay financially on track but its gotta be how i want it so sometimes takes a while to balance the books i guess.
the fuel cap was a metal dimma one and i sold it over a year ago sorry-try ebay bud
