Nice.

I like the switch for the diagnostic mode, another good idea is a momentary push button type switch in the engine bay for the starter motor solenoid, allows you to bump over the engine without needing to flick the ignition key.

Felt like a change of wiring, plus I am almost at a stand still with wiring for the moment, so I decided to delete the fuel filler hole, and re-task as a kill switch location.

need some panel beating to finish it off but its come up well :)

also found spots for the map sensor & regulator which means I don't need to change the fuel line at all and it should be in a good spot to view/adjust if needed.

yeah me too, very nice workmanship in the parts above, very happy to have paid what I did for what I got :)

did a quick measure last night, to keep the wheel where it is currently located, with the 4 link in place the front of those chassis rails is going to come to about the front of the back seat mount!

did a bit of a mock up of how it goes together so I could get some measurements of where the rails need to sit to keep the diff in the original location, it looks the part already hehe :punk:

pulled the motor and gearbox out of the car, got it up on stands and ready to remove the diff and leaf springs then start taking to it with an angle grinder! :twisted:
