Ive now got all the fuel bits I need. Surge tank, Fuel cell, Walbro intank are in. I just have to finish up a bracket for the bosch 044 and that can be installed along with the feed line from the surge tank. Other than that the fuel lines are finished! I have put the fuel filter where the fuel tank normally sits.

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.
