    Not a lot has happened really in the last 8 months hahaa. The engine is fully in and it starts and runs, just need the timing doing because it's misfiring when revving. Fitted some defi gauges to the dashboard instead of the cheap ones I got for the air vent oh and fitted an apexi avcr aswell

    Unfortunately not. I would of had it finished by now I think if it was. I done all the small holes in my boot lid but two complete sills was just too much for me so getting a pro to do it hahaa. I asked my local garage been as I have a mate there and he said they have someone else to do all the big welding for them anyway so they gave me his number

    I bet mate. I've been working on mine today finished fitting the gauges and getting all the interior trim in and put away all the tools. To find out that the starter motor is sticking so off to look for a new one now. So back goes the body repairs for another month haha.

    As the car looks now



    Forgot to get an interior pick

    Have you tried hitting the starter. When mine was off the road for a year I refitted the starter and it didn't work. I hit it and it started working. It's still working now over a year later. Worth a try.

    Yeah with a bar and hammer still no joys, cleaned up the terminals and tried again, still no joys. The battery is good and reading just below 13 volts so fully charged. It started doing this a few months ago so i brought a new battery and all was good until now.
