I have added update, to my post on Friday

Come on Steve, get your Camera out.. nothing wrong with bragging when you got something to brag about

[GTXJim]

Mark, is it still down at Andy's as I need to pop down there in the next couple of weeks, and I like too have a good nose about for ideas

[BUDGIE]

Mark, might be a silly question but how the hell do you go about insuring a car like that especially when you've got around a million quid into it









Big respect BTW.......

To be honest, not sure yet, will let you know when I cross that bridge

Million Quid, no where near that....... Then again, best if I dont add up what I spent

Just need the bigger Lump of Metal it all goes on or in ....then i'll post up

Good news was that I went to see the Cuda today, Jerry came along to keep me company & to sort out his centre section

The bad news was that neither of us had a camera

Well, I was really pleased with the progress this time....

Wiring is virtually finished, 2-3 days to finish off & to tidy up.

Propshaft done, not yet installed.

Last minute Fuel gauge installed, you would think with the likely MPG I am going to get, I wouldnt of forgot about a fuel gauge

New Master cylinders installed, just need to bleed brakes. At least I can remove the valve covers now

W/Screen washer bag installed, not the prettiest of things, but at least out of sight

Rear Wing done, maybe not to everyones liking, but I think it looks the biz

Even new shifter knob installed

Whats left....

Install passenger Seat & Seat belt mounts.

Throttle cable, linkage

Mount Handbrake

Need to get me old maths books out to work out a conversion/correction factor, in order I can convert prox sensor signal to refelect correct MPH (+/- 5mph) to digidash


All being well, will bring home next Friday (9th May) or if the worse comes to the worse will bring home after I come back from China on Sat 17th May.
