got to finish monting the engine propely, finish the fuel system re-do the driveshafts uprights etc. pipe up all the brakes, fit the exhaust, finish a few minor bits of body work, mount the 280 mm brake calipers, put the rest of the interior back in and fit all the exterior trim.  Oh yeah the issue of finding somone who can do the wiring for me without pulling my pants down over price or doing a half arsed job. Prob loads of little things that i carnt remember as well lol.

Its taken long enough ive had the car since 2003 and its not yet been on the road! it was bought as a shell with a shabby interior and a few bits an not much else. It was suppost  to be a quick throw together using cheap used standard parts, but then i did what i always do when in doing a car an went well over the top and spent far too much money and still havent finished.
