Rear end all together,



Image



Spoiler Riv Nut'd down properly, caps in, wiper motor in and covers modified to fit inside.



Image



Intercooler hose

Door panels on once Will wired up my electric windows as the base chassis loom didnt have them.

Will had fitted the brake loom, wired the windows, sorted the battery drain and set up the car, got some washers too!



Image



Will recomended some stack gauges, he wired up an oil pressure and boost gauge for me



Image



Dash in too.



Image



Took it to go get MOT'd and lost the sterring at the top of the driveway! Lucky escape.....loose pinch bolt....



Image



Got it MOT'd..... it passed with a couple of advisories. The guys were all over it. Thanks to the guys at T.O.M. Fast Fit in Airdrie.



Image



And on the way home while Will was trying to set up the car for me somethign let go on a heavy 3rd gear...



OIl every where and a CV boot off????



Image



Image



Image



After checking the diff thinking that it might have popped out due to no circlip ;



Image



We found out it was the power steering rack had blown.

Today was tidy up interior day.



Before,



Image



Buff and paint screws that will be visible.



Image



Trim down a little bit at a time the sills and speaker covers.



Image



|Needed a good clean and painted with the innotec grey.



Image



The same with the speaker covers, trimmed, cleaned and painted, left one new grey and right the old donor car blue.



Image



A few hours later! and the drivers side done.



Image



Also managed to get the rear quarter panels to fit too, didnt think i would manage that with the sierra floor but it paid off!



Image





Tomorrow will get the passenger side done and the centre consol, need to have a look at the dash too, the metal strenghtening bar on the inside bottom is fouling on the heater box.

Image



And trimmed/painted the speaker covers too.



Image



Tomorrow picking up a new car down by Blackpool with Will coming along for the ride.

Got the glove box to fit, cut the back and have fitted the ecu inside.

Image

Theres a gap from the front of the centre consol and the dash because on the sierra one it wraps around to face the driver and overhangs, tonight i will make a wee plate to cover the gap and fit this wee plate that Monster has made for me.


Image

Got Chris latham to send me a sticker kit for my battery, as always his stuff is excellent.

Image

Tidied all the washer hose up, before

Image

After

Image

Now to make two plates and sort the position of the wipers.

Made another for Monsters tag, nothing spectacular but it will fill the gap!



Image



Fitted some decals of MJ Racing forever in their debt for helping me build the car.



Image



And my tuning buddy, Will Pedley. Couldnt have started the thing without him!



Image



Fitted a titanium turbo heat shield, very niggly but does the job and sorted the wipers.



Image



Image



Cleaned the engine bay and under the car! Can honestly say that the first time i have cleaned the underside of a car!



Image



Image



Image



Image



And some of the rest of the car while it was dry for a change!



Image



Image



Image



Image



Some interior



Image



Image



Then get it loaded for Castle Combe



Image



Image



Image



Long drive but it should be worth it.....

absolutely love this fella, some phenomenal work gone in, from the major fabrication work to all the wee bits.

Its so good to see one of these massive projects finally make the road as well, far too many (including most of mine) get to a certain point and then circumstances change and it goes tits up.

This thing looks nothing short of spectacular though, great job to all involved and i'll hopefully get a chance to see it when i start getting back to meets!
