then the drivers side which will take ages as im attempting to hide all the alarm wiring properly.
Also gonna get the welder up and running on Sunday so i can start with the intercooler and rad mounts.
Smoothed off the rear boot trim:

Not sure what to do with it though as i have the carbon number plate surround. Do i spray it body colour, wrap it in carbon again, get some carbon cloth and try my hand at that, or be really adventurous and make a mould from it and make a full carbon one?
Also started spraying the brake lines up. Ive stripped all the horrible black sound deadening from the back of the engine bay in an attempt to make it look better.
Noticed on a lot of smoothed engine bays the brake lines are body coloured so they look better.
Primer:

23-11-2020, 06:49 PM #987Top work mate. Smoothing the boot trim is on my list. You beat me to it! Did you fibreglass it, then filler?

Just need to get a couple of brackets welded onto the cooler and rad to finish the job
Redid some of the wiring in the passenger arch to tidy that up so another job done.
Also planned out the new power steering bottle positon and will hopefully fit that tomorrow.
Trying to find a way to make the flip flop boot stronger as well so got some steel for that and ill put pics up when its done.
I also modified the standard fuel pump hanger so it now accepts a custom return and supply. Sealed it all up so ill fit tomorrow and then run the new return line as well.
Im slowly getting there and need to make sure ive got all the parts i need as ive got a week off week after next so hopefully big updates then.
