I honestly havn't decided..but it's going to be most likely flat black, or gloss black, gloss black does show scratches and dust though...or gunmetal grey, but that colour is open for interpretation so i'm going to have a look tommorow at the colours and decide then :)

Don't happen to have the day off tommorow Jim? i could pop over :)

Jusy a minor update..i picked up some drive flanges and CV's (you need the late LS 8.4" drive flanges for these brakes) and i have everything i need now to build the swivel hubs up.

This week i should pick up my wheels and frame, then i'm off to get some tires mounted on the rims.

I will try and get the motor off to Mark at MRC and have the clutch installed and for him to modify my turbo (needs to be turned around) also need to discuss ECU and stuff with him too while i'm there..

I also need to go pick up some paint for my engine bay and get that painted before the frame goes in again..and pray that the engine installation does scratch the paint :lol:

Then i'll clean the engine up and polish a few bits.

Then it's time to measure the shafts and get them made, get the radiator(s) done, install the barrel, get the wiring done, exhaust, engineer it...

I should pick up my boost controller this week as well :)

Sounds easy eh? :lol:

clutch is easy, just running a line to the slave from the master.

Brakes, he is going to get a twin line master (one day) i keep showing him heaps on uk ebay but he is to slow hehe. Then get a brake place or mr enforcer to run lines from the master to the booster then to the calipers and rear brakes.

Just making sure they weren't overlooked. I would be doing those first up as they will (or should) be 'underneath' everything else.

Yeah i just finished making my own brake lines and clutch line. I have been maucking around with trying to bleed the system, what a headache.

I agree with striped do the brake lines before you put the motor in as it will be a real pain to do it after.
