Thinking about attaching a factory brake pedal plate/pad to look original as possible and paint the brake pedal arm too. Haven’t had a drivers seat in there yet but it should be pretty much where the old pedal was , it’s adjustable anyway if need be.

 

 

Next in the agenda is making mounts for the ecu and coil packs behind the stereo , need to cut a shit load of original firewall where out first so I can start planning the firewall and new mounts for the wipers

I was hoping there would be enough clearance to get to the bottles to fill without having to run remote bottles because that would have meant access from engine bay or below windscreen but with my plans of having complete flat flush firewall that was never going to fit in with my plan lol

With everything in there I can still remove the lid easily enough and plenty of room to check levels when needed. I still need to make a decent structure to mount the pedal box which is why everything is back in there at the moment , because the pedal box is taking up room where the fuse panel was I modified the steel frame to move it all over 40mm , still retains factory look and accessibility.

Have spent many hours doing wiring and modifying the harness to all fit under the dash pretty much as it came from factory , trying to keep all the panels in place while making space for the reverse mount pedal and relay box etc has taken some careful planning and execution but I think I have it all under control now , last thing to do is make my acc pedal modifications to allow the cable to go across the firewall inside the car then through to the engine just behind the inlet manifold , I need to purchase the cable first though.

Pretty sure that was about 180k+ when it was built , nice car but not worth paying new Gts price for something older

Have you had the ecu scanned for viruses ?

I agree , unfortunately for me I’m working late every night and weekends to help finish a big job off for a show over Easter , might get some time to myself after that.
