ARGHHHH having a crisis! Major case of the cba's but i'm about five minutes from getting this thing running, bummer!

Leakoffs arrived, as did the rest of my hose clamps, just need to fit the wiring loom now and tap the FMIC pipes for the boost compensator and we SHOULD have a runner.

Considering this is basically dry at the minute, any suggestions for first start? Also, when I prime the fuel system with the grenade it seems to lose pressure after a minute or two, bad sign?

Anyway regardless of that, some cosmetic updates.

First, remember that flaky arch under the O/S rear door? A la here?



No more!





Need to polish it slightly but managed to paint it without leaving much of a lip so barely any touching up needed! But then I went and pulled the arch for clearance and cracked the rest of the paint

Got the satin black paint out too and got cracking with the trim. Looks epical without the roof bars but I really don't want to have to paint the entire roof, was thinking of screw in grommets but they'd look gash, can you get flush fit ones anywhere?









Oh and the eagle eyed will have noticed the white door handles too. Painted them on the car, bit of a bodge tbh, i've painted the ph3 rub strips now too and fitted the rear fog light in a rather unconventional place... pics tomorrow

For now here's the rest of today's pics
