ok after a gym sesh i wasnt realy feeling up to working on it tonight but starting early tomorrow and a mate is coming to help from mid day untill night time

few pics here, had to shade a couple as the flash from the camera made it look pale, shaded one as much as poss, looks like a floating shell but it looks closer to the actual colour than the others i think

some pics of the box's of parts i have too, there is a charge cooler amoung it all, uprated fuel pump, clutch and flywheel, coilovers etc etc etc
the new engine is also in there and will hope to have this in place by tomorrow night

finding it hard to capture the correct colour of the car with the camera but i gues its not in daylight and is in the garage. also might be due to me being a cheapskate and having a cheap camera

Mate I think that looks really gorgeous!! Did you have all the clams off to get it sprayed? Very very nice!

[leevx2.2]

Well looks as good as I thought it would top job

to be honest i think the blue seats look fine but i will offer them for a swap to a member for a set of full black interior, if nobody wants to then im happy to keep them clams came off yes and they spent a long long time heating them to get all the damp out, there was so much it look ages, water just kept coming through the rear clam! he got all of it out though so fingers crossed that clam will not blister/bubble again very happy with it though, off to spend the day on it starting from 8:30am so will post pics up later and a little update of how i get on with it today thanks very much for the comments, glad you like it so far

This is the first time I've read this thread. Car looks great I think the blue seats give it a good contrast as well. Keep up the good work J
