Well the pictures quality doesnt really show whats been done.
Headers are still out being Ceramic coated, so no photos
Exhaust system all completed, hopefully with the X Pipe & 4 boxes should be a bit quieter
Fuel tank completed
Fuel pumps & filters installed
New rear sliding link installed, as old system was in the way for exhaust box.
Car only needs be raised about 1/2", so quite pleased with that.

Ordered some new Strange rear shocks, as the old ones showing there age. Double adjustable aluminium coil overs.

Probably gonna change the fronts to some Strange long reach struts. So if any ones thinking about going over to a strut front suspension, let me know. As I will probably sell my old struts, which are based around a Leda strut, my own billet hubs (anodised) with Merc Discs, vented/drilled and Willwood twin pot callipers.

I think Wheels day is gonna be tight, but still gotta a couple of weeks

anyway heres a few photos.

Thanks for the kind comments

Only been a week, but going to see the car again tomorrow, also will collect some bits for the swap meet for someone. Plus I have a few bits to collect.
Anyone after some Strange 28 spline shafts, multi stud pattern (Will confirm sizes later) 9" centre section with Strange spool.

Hopefully will have a few more / better pictures to add tomorrow as well.
Cheers,
Mark . . .

Not much to add I'm afraid

apart from the fact headers have now been coated. So apologies if photos look the same
