Sleek headlight install & engine rebuild pics

[Bobfish]

Yesterdays update below...doesnt look like alot, but got alot done.
Its now 6:53 AM and ive been out of bed 20 minutes. Im gonna play a game or two of age of empires 3, then get out there and get started. Today i want to finish getting the engine hooked up, wire the lights in, get the wheel well liners back on, change the brakes, bleed the brakes and clutch, and generally get the car to a state where it is actually driveable!

Tomorrow will be spent fitting the diff brace, rear brakes, and generally cleaning the car hopefully!

Well, its 15:49 and ive just finished making the loom for the lights (i didnt want to mangle the stock connectors so i used spade connectors to connect to existing loom) and spraying the brackets for them:









I finished hooking the engine up, filled her with coolant and:

Needs quicktime



next up after a small break is fitting the diff brace, rear brake pads, light brackets, and the wheels.  Headlight covers come back from the painters tomorrow, then she gets a full days washing and we are ready to go!!

well, just done the first 185 miles and all is good! returning an MPG figure of 23.4 lol, motorway, all under 3k, no boost.

Lights came off ebay, ive no idea who sold them to me as it was over 60 days ago now...sorry! Fitment wasnt great anyway, needed alot of fabrication work and tinkering, one still dont fit properly and they arent properly stuck down yet because the perspex is a diff shape to the light covers themselves. Gonna have to take em off and clamp em down for a bit...
