Rigtho now I start the jig saw puzzle, first thing out of the car is the fuel tank.

Didnt realise how big it was until i got it on the ground out of the car, probably should have asked for help but oh well.

Even the fuel tank is artwork full stainless full baffled and fits like a glove. KMS even make the tie downs for the fuel tank out of billet aluminium.

next out of the car was the wiring harness, I pulled the tank to make the job easier, the wiring harness came out so I could add brake and reverse wiring I didnt want to just add to the car I wanted everything to look neat so while i had the harness out I also integrated the EFI power supply into the one loom rather then having 2 looms running to the rear of the car.


Next out was the dash so I could get to the rest of the harness. Behind the dash was a mess of wires and disorganisation and NO this is not the way Kirkham ships the car the build photos that KMS supplied show the wires bundled up nice and neat.

Also I had to wire up windscreen wipers windscreen demisters steering lock and replace the MPH speedo for KMH, I also had to change fuel pressure gauge as KMS had mistakenly put in a carby fuel pressure gauge While I had it out I did some tidying up and bundled the wires up nice and neat.

Well I ran out of things to do on the wiring while I wait on some parts so I started on the suspension putting the coil overs on the shocks and sway bar attachment.

this is the right rear corner coil over installed

Left front corner

Sway bar and front coil over mounting hardware.

Sway bar mounted all neat and tidy. Billet suspension really is a treat to work on.

Next install is the engine I wont get back on to the car till probably Tuesday.
