Thanks For the feed back. They will be functional Matt. Ill stare at them a bit more today.

Deciding where to place the bonnet vents. Iam thinking wide and back, but my wife thinks narrow and back, or could just go centre. Any suggestions welcome.

New HID headlights arrived today.

Prepping the boot for a fibreglass mold. Bit more wiring done.

Thanks Clapped Out. Made and fitted drivers floor plate with brake light switch bracket.

Washer bottle fitted and all the wiring is done from the boot forward to the dash.

Thanks Paul. Pikkies it is. Bit more done on the dash and wiring today.

Its telling me to "Hurry Up". Just like the black board on Mr Squiggle. Is it sad that some of us know who this is? LOL

Nice work Justin. Fulcrum do a poly bush kit for these subframes if you find the rubber is a bit soft. Listed for 85 MA61 Supra.

Not much to photograph at the moment. Iam building the motor and fitting the new wiring harness. The demist fan is fitted. The bracket will also surport the new ecu when it arrives.

Ill be watching with interest. You might be ready to go before me.

What Rolla-Ken said. Its sad to see another rally car bite the dust. No pun intended. I bet that body shell with that works paint job will attracted a few questions in years to come.

Fuel lines and adjustable fuel pressure regulator fitted.

Thanks Stuart, It will get very dirty very quick when it starts its first stage. If anyone needs a Corolla fuel cap, pm me as ive replaced the 2 ton Toyota item with a light weight after market cap.

Fuel pump and tank finished and fitted.

Tank sealed and painted.

First bumper out of the mold. Weight= 750grams. Will be close to 1kg with some mounts.

Top tank fitting is done. Almost ready to fit the tank.

Thanks Breto. Got the pump mount welded into the bottom of the tank. Now in the process of resealing the inside against rust.

EFI pump mount ready to weld into the tank.

One bumper in the mold.

Got the engine block back today. Still waiting on crank and rods.

Cheers Chris. PLR said sometime this week. Ill ring you as soon as I hear. Thanks again for the offer to pick the stuff up. I dropped the parts off before chrismas, so they must be doing an extra good job.LOL

Creating sparks any where near a fuel tank is not being brave, its plain stupid, if its a few meters away or on the far side of the work shop. To weld fuel tanks safely,the vapor has to be removed. The CO2 purge is one way if you have the equipment. Ive repaired many motorcycle tanks using the water method Justin has mentioned. A lot of water needs to be used to flush the tank and there can still be fuel floating on top which can catch fire. I had no problem cutting into this tank as it has been dry and open for years. It was surprising its in as good condition. Started porting the head. Hope to have the block back from the machine shop this week.

The tank was sitting dry more many years at the wrecker. No chance of blowing up. Whats mercel?
