Not much of an update as I've been tackling the rewiring but here's a few pics of where I've got to.
Lots of this tape has been used
Drivers side from this
To this
Just waiting for my Rivnut tool and some alloy Pclips to arrive to secure the loom to the inner wing.
Passenger side from this
To this
Then
I have a couple more wires to solder then I can tape it all up and secure to the body which I hope to do on Friday night.
These also turned up but haven't even bothered opening the box yet as I want to sent the springs off to be powder coated as you will have seen in the above images.
KMAC Adjustable Top Mounts.
Awaiting some VibraTechnics engine mounts to arrive and the cars booked in for engine bay and front end respray in April.

Hi, i wonder if you could help me out?
When you ran the 323mm brembos under the porsche alloys I noticed you had 35mm spacers.. would you say 25mm spacers would allow them to fit?
Cheers!

To be honest Tom I can't remember how much space there was. I think it would be ok but don't want to be held accountable for you buying the wrong size adapters.TomG wrote:Hi, i wonder if you could help me out?

MrBlobby off here bought the wheels and brakes so maybe you can ask him to confirm clearances?

Dne some more today.
Moved the Evap solenoid to the rear and extended the loom for it to help clear up the clutter in the bay.
Disconnected it from here and pulled the white tube out from the bay
Then connected the solenoid
Then ran line up to the bay how I wanted it.
I do then plum in a 1way valve and T piece to run to the throttle body but forgot to take pics.
Also received my VT engine mounts so put them in just for the sake of it.
Received my KMAC top mounts. Only fitted one side so far.
Finished the wiring on the passenger side but forgot to take most recent pics. But here are a few during.
Fuses new home
Fitted the BBS on the rear
Next time I go down the garage Ill take a better camera as the quality of these pics is shocking.

Few more bits done today.
Secured the loom to the body using some P-Clips and a rivnut tool.
Here's is a better pics of my re routed Evap piping with the T piece to the throttle body and the 1 way valve before the TIP
Fitted the wings back on and test fitted the head lights and front panel to ensure the length of new wiring was adequet
Next up car off to body shop (last weekend of April) for bay, wings, bonnet and front bumper to be painted the. I can fit the engine with my new head.
