Re: New from Sunny South Africa
Car looks great! Must feel good to finally have it home.

PROGRESS!!
I managed to put all the brakes back in the car, and the engine is back in.
will progress some more during the following evenings.
added wiring to the bulkhead and loom for fuel, oil and water pressure to set up some safety in future as well.

Progress is slow, but it is progress non the less.

for the first time since ownership, the car has a grill and lights mounted completely.
all the fluids are in(except water) and back on its wheels.
flatted the tail lights/park light and clear coated them, worked out better than anticipated.
added sound deadener to the roof.
building up the courage to attempt the roof lining.

the 1st real "outing" since i have owned this car.
only has values in the map up to 3k RPM with 20% throttle, but it drove to a friends workshop opening under its own power.
still needs a lot of things like airbox, etc. and there is no real interior besides the roof lining(thank you @rush for the inspiring thread on the headlining, helped me a lot!!)
wiring is basically done, all lights work, hooter etc.
interior fan, radio, dome light and so on still has to happen, having a hard time finding a new dome light.
ignore the speedo, calibration is way off, was doing 60kph there.
fuel gauge also not doing its thing yet.

I can't believe you were able to take a picture safely while driving that fast!
