Sorry not got any spares as I'm about to put them on the other shell as I've built it up so I can roll it about. Things are moving much faster than I thought and the engine and box should be out today.

So it's been a very busy day today! You can't beat having a garage to use! This morning I got to the car and fitted hubs etc. Then rolled it on to a ramp to drop the engine and gear box. Finally I finished the day the the car back on it's wheels and covered up. I've been awake for 36 hours now so I really need sleep but here's a few pics of the progress so far!

So not too much has happened recently. I have fitted a few other nice bits inc Tein coilovers and new clocks. The smg car is at a standstill right now due to it not being at home. I will get it recovered in the next week or two and maybe start work on that. I have done endless cleaning with some new products I found.

Here is how it currently sits.

Ok so after collecting the car a few days ago and it breaking down, I fitted a new alternator after work last night. Finally she is home! Next up is to fix the misfire, change the headlight motors, fit the trd short shifter and give it a good wash! Then to fit a headunit and sort out tyres.
