Well things are really beginning to progress now, First of all i had a little play with headlights, and found that VW lupo ones could fit quite nicely after a bit of work, however not sure about the look, think its a little bug eyed




Think ill probably end up going for the twin spots as on the silver car in my avatar.
Next issue was with the clutch pipework, needed a flexi on the mastercylinder end, however weird thread, so decided to make an adapter:

once all assembled looked like:


Still got wires wires everywhere:



Tho its begining to get there now, hopefully will get that finished over the next week/weekend.

Finalyl sourced my celica doors for the glass and mechs, only £50 for the pair, bargain :D

Now got the steering column all mounted up and the UJ connected, so we're almost at the driving stage now !!




Rear bumper and engine cover now fitted:


Need to centre the exhaust tho.

Any the nice lights from the states fitted:


Bonnet and passenger door fitted:

Have had the drivers door on as well but camera wasnt out at the time.

Good progress Ed.
Not quite convinced with the Lupo headlights though.
Keep meaning to post some updates on my progress but they might have to wait till the weekend - went out windsurfing today (No. 1 passion for the last 8 years) and suspect that I will be so cream crackered tomorrow I won't be able to hold a camera never mind actually do any work on the car.

i wasnt convinced with the lupo headlights either Ken, thats why ill just swap to the phantom twin spots at a later stage i think.
