Ha yours is one of the longest builds going now. Yea I'll be there and the 14 all being well.
Cheers mate. Yea this one should hold now!
Passed the MOT today!! Then went straight to get it aligned. I've dropped my traction arms lengths down to 8.5" from 9.0" after extensive reading on Nissan Road Racing forum. It's really helped with arm length actually and should have better handling characteristics than before.
Got a decent shot of all the refurb work whilst it was on the ramp too. Need a wider lens to get a better one really.
So looks like I will be at JDMCombe after all.

Was he wearing the friend testing glasses, Or did you swap that cat over whilst on the ramp :-)
Turns out hard work does pay off! Made it to JDMCombe parked up in my slot on the show and shine. Really good day out. Just felt great to have made my goal!
I need to turn my front diff bushes the other way up as the huge spicer joints on my one piece prop are fouling the stupid handbrake cable retainers.

Good to see it back together and all shiney again mate, looks amazing!
Thanks a lot guys. Loved the show and was super satisfying making it in time! Drive to the show was the shakedown for the new box!
Big mod took place today in the form of this sticker.
Have you painted the top of your headlights or is it vynal? Either way nice touch

Painted my discs up to stop them from rusting whenever water touches them
also had a little tidy around in the engine bay removing and rerouting quite a lot of wiring. Managed to get the wiper motor area pretty tidy which has always bugged me

Nice, want to see it in the flesh again, are you at the weekender this year?
well screw you photobucket, not sure if it's affected many on here but my entire thread images were hosted there and now its $399 a year to be able to link to forums and all my links are dead
Yep just noticed my build thread is without all my bucket pixs too.
Mine still show but that's bullshit, do you still have the pics on your account?
