Well then its time for a long overdue update!, as I bought some new parts at the weekend there as of which I fitted some tonight after work and also bit the bullet and ordered up my gearbox c/w desired ratio's, modified alloy bellhousing, hyd clutch setup, paddle clutch, one piece prop, hi torque starter and snazzy alternator! lol...

so with all these parts that only leaves me still to get a full exhaust system and oil cooler c/w pipes and thats us got all the parts needed to complete her!...WOOHOO! about ****in time eh! lol

The parts I fitted tonight were the genuine FoMoCo rear lights I got at the lakes off of rsjohn as the new'er copies that I had fitted werent that good a fit with the bulb holders etc and I wasnt generally happy with them...the genuine lights make a huge difference to the fitment of the actual light!..also picked up from the lads at Escort-Tec my front grill fitting kit...basically a load of screws and fancy clips! lol and finally got my front 1/4 bumper bolts...so all in all well chuffed with all the parts coming together

Here are some snapshots of the genuine rear lights fitted and how she is sat at the mo...plenty more pics to come over the next few months!
