Come a wee way so bit of an update, up and running, lots of new parts going in 

New screen, hoodlining, 2.4 steering rack, nolathane front suspension, louvres, side windows arriving atm, all electrics or lack of is perfect now, 

Chipping away between taking it for hoons around the block

Pulled the diff, LSD acquired for fun times,

Now I'm trying to figure out how to put it all together again properly, meshing correctly etc, never done this stuff before! Will be worth it if I get it right though

Few things sorted recently,

LSD diff assembled, new wheel bearings installed, superpro bushings everywhere, just acquired the gaz adjustable shocks and all together under the car again! Boy it bakes the tyres very easy

Onto the next puzzle piece now

Tweaking wee bits, hooked up an electric fan for cooling, will weld in a thread for the temp sensor at work and just trying to renew all the brakes at the moment, hardlines done, awaiting braided hoses then see if I'll be buying new front calipers, man I hate doing brakes worst job in the world  

Should have side windows back in the next couple days and it'll at least look complete then

Got the brakes working! Stoked, fronts seem a bit grabby but I haven't touched the front struts themselves so I'll look at them soon, been holding off for some capri front legs I haven't found any yet 

Boy it loves the liquid horsepower yeehaa

Bit of sunshine is good, finished the window fitting

Temp switch fitted and works well for the fan,

Currently looking into front calipers atm since they're grabbing a wee bit, free em up I'll be happy,

Really need to scrap these tyres unfortunately and find some new ones
