Where did you get it back from?

I'm confused.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

small update

been away from my project for a while got a extra member to the family so i been busy with her

had a nightmare day today but things are starting to come together slowy

a mate came down to help me with the brake pipes got one side done
I am trying to run them through the car i did pretty good in the engine bay they just
need to be a little more tidy not got the clips for the braided sleeve yet got a few jubilee
clips for now so they look a little rough




this is where they come through they clear the pedals all the insulation to go over the top yet
so no chanceof them been crushed




ran it through the chassis leg pretty neat just got to secure the grommets and put some
protection on the pipe



got my manifold back just waiting for the matching rocker top



got my wings back and painted slam panel had a little play about with them



oh yeah i got the doors back NEVER put porshce 944 handles on they are a right arse on to fit
looks like i need to cut part of the door having second thoughts about fitting them now

thats it for this week

engine is ready to go in!!! weyhey
my mate has been round today helping to finish the brake pipes off
they are all plumbed in now just need tidying up and securing down in places

next sunday the engine is getting popped in if the weathers nice and all the front end on
going to get a full day on it then it should be plain sailing from there
not happy with my calipers so i am either buying new ones or buying a sand blaster for them

heres a few pictures of the pipes runs up the drivers side and pops out above the rear axle
through some gromets that were already there

best progress happened today in my eyes looks like I am getting somewhere
started half 10 this morning engines in I have one issue with the steering rack
knocking bad i think i have put the wrong bolt in joining the rack to the column
so I need a bolt if anyone has one

lost a few bolts here and there i need to replace but the bulk is done
not sure where to mount the power steering bottle and the header tank

anyway heres some pictures let me know your views on it















need to raise the car up slightly rubbing on the rear
