Well have made some progress the altenator is in and I put the driveshafts in today so only the fuel system, intercooler, radiator and electrics to go... :wink: :lol: :lol: Oh and don't worry if the shafts look on a steep angle the car is on stands... :wink:

Yeah Mick I think that actually might be in the cards together with the Dyno day Dean. I will hopefully have the EFI fuel pump system done by the end of the weekend and then it is onto the remote oil filter mount and finally the electrics...

Well Dean, I have kind of stopped thinking of ETA's as everytime I make one it goes wizzing by... :D. would say end of November maybe? Also manofaus this is a starlet conversion not a Suzi...I attached the remote oil filter today so I will throw some pics up tomorrow. Not real happy with the solution so I may have another go...
