engine bay has been finished and the result is shocking but it will go into a bodyshop sometime in the new year to have the whole bay done so im not that fussed..

rear subframe.. steering rack.. suspension have all been refitted so its now a rolling shell... been building up my ABF to see what parts i need looks like i need a loads of gaskets for bits and bobs and a few bolts/nuts..

have lost 2 bolts for the front subframe so couldnt test fit the engine today  :embarassed: :embarassed:

seems to be going at a good pace now... again..  :smiley:
