    Ummm... OK! [:[]

    Kinda ran out of money to do anything, and I can't do anything 'til my flywheel comes back from modifications and lightening anyway.

    In the mean time I've changed my mind of which bumpers to have. The reason I didn't like the big bumpers was because it makes the car look like it has no chin. So I gave it a chin [:p]

    Painted the bay black and fitted the 20v loom,

    [​IMG]

    got a load of mystery plugs left over and no idea where they're meant to go [><]

    [​IMG]

    Can't remember if I posted what I got for my birthday?

    [​IMG]

    Inlet mani and rocker cover is off the 20v for flocking

    [​IMG]

    5 branch (factory item) all heat wrapped. I've had to drill the same bloody exhaust stud out twice. How unlucky do you have to be to have a stud snap in the same hole twice [:x]

    Think that's about it! Baby steps [:p]

    Got my flywheel back, it's only just dawned on me that he's taken material off the wrong side, so I hope this isn't too much of a big deal, I'm not used to these back to front clutches [:[]

    Bit lighter and prettier anyway :thumbup:

    Box back on, ready to go back in once I've sorted my clutch line (which twisted trying to remove it) :)

    Do you have a round plug with a Grey/White & Green/Black wire in it? Its the other end to my gauges that could be usefull. Trace back from the senders and you should find it:thumbup:

    Not according to my list, though I would've expected it to be there, don't think I got that far stripping loom down to bare minimum [:[]

    Recruited a mate to sort that for me anyway [:p]

    the KV has loads of unused plugs when its in the coupes so i expect it to be that same in the 90, when we have done engine swaps in the past the are usually pretty easy to find a home for!

    This is the 7A loom I've got loads of plugs left over on though [:[]

    Mate knows what he's doing with a multimeter, he'll sort it [:D] I've got the most in depth guides and diagrams for it too so it shouldn't be too taxing... Hopefully!

    Not been able to get pics off my phone and I've had a mad couple of weeks moving unit so many updates -

    To get the car back on some wheels to move it I had to put the subframe back in, which I'd already bolted to the new engine

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    While the engine was out, thought I'd whip the fannymould and rocker cover off for a bit of sprucing up along with the dash (it'd be rude not to really [:p])

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Spent a couple of days stripping tar off the floor (that I hadn't realised was even there [><])

    [​IMG]

    Which revealed a big fat hole in the rear footwell

    [​IMG]

    Managed to get hold of the buckets I've been after for months and months

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Matched up the exhausts for the 20v

    [​IMG]

    Started putting the engine back together

    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    Aaaand in it's new home

    [​IMG]

    And now we're up to date again :thumbup:

    I would, but it would cost 100's! I'm pretty happy with my 15 paint job and a few flocked bits and bobs [:p]

    They've never been used as bucket seats, just a cats bed for the last couple of years, so they're brand new, and kinda period to fit the car :)

    Flock is flame retardant, don't worry, not even a blowtorch will get it back off, dashboards melt before the flock catches fire :lol:

    I'm trying for some cool points Dan, just wait 'til it's on it's arse on Borbets [:D]
