      Looking good. Was wondering when we'd see an update.

      Where did you get those switches? They look great. Did you supply the images or where they from a selection?

      You still on track to make June?

      By the way, I couldn't help myself. That spare 4dr shell now has a donor roof, doors, rally tyres, buckets harness and picking up a 6 point weld in cage on Thursday. Going to throw a pinto and webers with RX8 box in it I have lying around. Will serve as a practice car before I build my arched 2 door. Should be a good laugh throwing around a car I don't care for...

      Shaun.

        Hey Mate,

        I got the switches from here. https://billetautomotivebuttons.com/...billet-buttons

        Realistically not going to make June but won't be far off

        Great job on the 4 door too! Can't wait to see it in racing anger

        Cheers

        Matt

          Switch box now all folded up





          Going to mount this here so it is in my field of vision



          Then got more fittings to mount the fuel pressure sensor in the fuel line

              Any thoughts on painting, dipping or wrapping the box?

              I'd love some feedback

              cheers

                What about black wrinkle paint? Grind down welds first of course.

                What the hell does Panty Dropper button do?

                  Yes, im thinking wrinkle paint too

                  The panty dropper is the ignition button

                        the ezy wire kit is very easy

                        The hardest part is making it look good

                          the stupid K&N filters don't fit over the large trumpets so I need to get a new filter set up

                          Im thinking of a pipercross airbox set up

                          few pics of the trumpets that are too big for the filters

                                Getting ready for paint

                                First thing is to cut the hole for the vent again
