The sad part about my billet JMC brake master is that after squaring the motor and setting the engine mounts the dang thing came too close to the valve cover so I went with an aftermarket under dash brake booster/clutch master set up.:hammer: I added the neat billet triple resevior to the fire wall. Fuel plumbing is complete!:yellowpepper:

After moving the shrouded fuel pump into my boot  I mounted this 150gph lift pump in its place. Hmm.. best shield it from the future hot rubber!:bolt:

Fuel plumbing is complete. Dash is currently being fitted... pics soon!

I got mine from JME Enterprises. (link provided) Very pricey and only fit left hand drive. If its right drive you will need to butcher. Was hard to butcher such a nice and very expensive piece of work.

The Year One dash(link provided) comes without guages so it gives you a cheaper option but left hand drive only as well.

Cool stuff! haven't checked this thread for a while... Didn't realise your project was dieting to loose some weight!

have you been saving weight anywhere else? how much do you think you'll save by the end?

I'm just up the road, might come past sometime and check the progress out.

cheers!

I felt that with the strengthening I did add a bit of weight so I decided to trim it elsewhere. I will weigh the car to see the end weight. The car is north of the river at the moment.:cheers:

Sorry Tim, to answer your question more. I will be making the major weight gains with body panels. I have ordered carbon fibre front guards, front spoiler, boot lid and rear quarter panel extensions. And in fibre glass: a hood, bumper panel and apron. The company making the fibreglass parts wanted $1200 freight.:shocked:  I made a phone call to a US cars & parts importer in Perth here and they could do freight for $260.:rub:
