once mine is running, its off to the car wash. all thats left is the purge line, exhaust and rad hoses.

[Russell_G]

Sounds good. Im cracking on it all week. With any luck i will have the frame done with mounts on it painted and at my house for the weekend. Next week will be dash swap and finish the bay for the 3rz then its down to paint and put it all back together.
