Fuel lines are all finished now, hooked up and ready to go except for the wiring. Ive also put the sensors for the oil press, oil temp, and water temp gauges in. The oil return pipe is finished and all hooked up.
Ive had a chat to Andy from X-tune and it looks like he will be able to tune the car for me. All going well this will be happening in the next few months.
Now I just have to put my head down and get the body work finished!

Turbo lines are finished except for the oil return, which I am getting drilled out and a 90deg adaptor screwed in.
The Oil filter relocation kit is mounted and all lines are hooked up to the oil cooler/block. I only ended up using two of the braided hoses that came with the kit. One was the right length and the other one was chopped into two and two new fittings were crimped on.
I must say a big thankyou to Richard and Steve from Kapiti Diesel for helping me sort out the fittings and braided lines over the last couple of weeks.
Intercooler piping is off getting welded at the moment and once I get it back the car should be getting close to being started! The only major thing left is the wiring.
Not much progress on the body work. Im quite unmotivated to work on it at the moment. Mechanical work is so much more fun! Although I have had some ideas on how to make quite alot less work for my self in the body work department, so I will have to see how that goes.
