Its all the little things fittings wiring etc that take the longest.

looking killer. liking the new stance as well.

Go for it Cav. All i did was shorten the original cable and modified the leaver. It works great and its hidden away.

Had a busy day finished making the brackets to hold the radiator in so its nice and clean.

Also relocated the bonnet release cable so it’s no longer in the bay and in easy reach under the front bar.

I also fitted the motor with the extractors to make sure everything was all good. Lucky i did because i had to massage the extractors because of the…[Read more]

Sorry mate accidently reported your post.
