Good stuff Dan!

Update: Haven't done anymore wiring, but did get a fair bit done this weekend:

Shot of it outside after fitting some freshly sprayed parts :cool:









Boost piping is almost done, just need to chop the pipe on the right side there and join it up with a 135 silicone hose. Few different bits of piping needed around the bay to finish things off, like coolant lines to the reservoir, etc. Rad is plumbed in and the heater matrix. Cold side of FMIC is connected to TB. N249 and N112 are all gone, SAI sh!te is gone.

Getting there. Next couple weeks going to fit the brakes, shift setup, zaust, finish as much of the bay as possible and order the rest of what's needed for it.

On order now is braided hoses and a Forge Split-R valve. I'll be borrowing it though until he needs it :D

In other news, the bodywork is coming along. House of Kolor paint is on its way, the sunroof has been removed and the roof it now done and in primer with no sunroof. All the arch work is sorted and most of the other panels have been prepped.

Hoping to get the majority of the conversion done this year and I think my mate is hoping to have the car out of the bodyshop all freshly painted and looking sweet this year too. Will be a daily-driven show car when its done and on the road!

Getting there, haven't really touched it since last time I said about it. Going to have a read up on it to see if there is anything that I could easily miss/forget; things that could be fatal for the engine, that sort of stuff :D
