Not at all at the moment as I don't have a visa lol, but normally work there about 10 months of the year and back here 2 months a year (a month over Christmas, and a month in the English summer)
Anyway back to the car...

Hardcorejoe - lol, if I move over there permanently ill definitely got it wrapped up and shipped over there
Jake - thanks bud!
Couple more pics, got more done after alex and Lee popped over to drop his gripper dif over but forgot to take pics
Larger servo and 23mm master cylinder all done and bleed up
Drivers side tidied up, primered and painted (pics of it painted tomorrow)
It's been 5 years since the car was originally built so some parts definitely needed going over again to preserve the chassis! More pics tomorrow...

Got it all back together tonight lads, went to start, was turning but not firing. Had a wiggle around the bay, checked everything over. Still the same... Hmmm
Then put ignition on, fuel pump wasn't priming. Checked fuse box in the bay, a fuse had gone, wacked a new fuse in, bam! Started first time, running and idling alot sweeter now as well.
Let her warm up, checked the new slimline fan, spinning the wrong way so I'll swap the cables over tomorrow, and put the headlights, grill, procomp and strut brace all back in.
Pics tomorrow

Yeah come and introduce yourself mate
Btw that isn't rust on the slam panel it's just dirt that's stuck to the clear underseal I put on it a few years back.

If you look back through my photobucket account you'll see how we did it. Basically masked the engine off, removed suspension and everything around the top struts and sprayed it using our compressor/spray gun in the garage lol
Danny - definitely!
Lee - cheers mate
