bit of an update on where things are at,

rust cut out of boot and battery box mounted on a bracket to bring it upto boot floor height,

pedal box just sitting there with wire to get the right positioning, just waiting on seats before its mounted,

gear stick shortened up and strengthened

hydraulic release bearing, its all installed now, no pic of it in yet

exhaust flange water jetted out

progress on inlet manifold

progress update,

have used up my bulk pack of dynamat, done both doors on outside skin, whole roof, both rear quater panals, has made a huge difference, will be getting some more to do inside firewall and floor

installed my central locking actuators

does anyone know if any model of chevettes came out with central locking? because on the door lock there is this hole unused, which was perfect to run the actuator off, where my finger is

this is what my gearbox looks like with the concentric bearing installed

passenger firewall with ecu board mounted and car wiring board next to it with fuse box, have completed making the new rear car loom.

so things have not gone to plan as always, car is now on hold while im in palmy studying for two years, sucks to have to do it but i need money to live as a student at the moment and a bit hard to work on it when the car is in nelson haha.

so car is pushed to back of shed with all the parts crammed inside it, now its sitting there collecting dust.

but here is little progress of where i got upto before it was put away.

Headers and exhaust all finished up.

custom headers 4-1

2.5inch mandrel bend exhaust system

coby resonator

flow master muffler

and exits the car in straight 2.5inch, im not a fan of big bores

pedal box tacked into place, waiting till i get seats before deciding on final position.

cars rear wiring loom all rewired.

and this is what the engine bay looks like now, all strengthened and filled.
