So barring a few stickers the exterior is all finished now and the body kit is now on permanently
The white stripe has been added and is now looking the way I always hoped it would
Now the final assembly can be done
Stay tuned...
Why did you remove the roof vent for the last few shots?
Have you had the stickers recreated?
Awesome....
First of the stickers going on
More updates
Heated Windscreen is in, New tail lights, Grill is on and dash fitted. Switch panel is painted and switches mounted.
I'll keep adding things as it progresses
Few hours spent today
Head lights, door cards, Boot springs, Side Mirrors installed
More Action today
Roof vent has been installed now using MK2 escort vents
Door handle bolted on using nutserts
Zakspeed Sticker stuck on now. Looks soo good
That's looking awesome.

Switch panel now installed
Build continues...
Boot seal in and the fuel filler hose now all sorted so the boot is pretty much done bar the wiring
Installed trumpets on the carbs and fitted filters
Thermo fan is fitted behind the grill. It's only a 10" one due to the oil cooler in the way but this should be more than enough given it won't be a road car. Sorry for the crap pic...I'll get more next time
Looking good and a great read. Keep it up and keep the updates coming
The wiring has begun. Headlights and horn wired in
More pics of the rear firwewall
Pic of the mount for the switch panel
That's all for today. Stay tuned

New KAAZ LSD with 4.3 ratio. Little but more suitable than the 5.3 I had
All polycarbonate windows are in now. I've just glued the outside rubbers on with sikaflexand it looks really good and won't be going anywhere. I'll be doing the inner ones tonight
Installed the drivers side foot plate. I've fallen in love with nutserts!! Best thing ever
First time under its own power. I can't believe how happy I am
Few pics too
awesome job, followed this from the start good to see a project followed through to completion. As complete until the next mod. Well done
What, no burnout???
Car looks awesome... it's come a long way.
When is your first event?
