I'll get some new pics this weekend, getting pretty close to running, though. Here's a few from a couple weeks, well, I guess a month ago now. I forgot I never updated my post here.

You said you were adding aluminium skirts? aren't you painting them body colour?

They'll actually just be the gloss black finish of the aluminum, same material the dash is made from. With the exhaust painted I don't know that it really needs them though.

Got the drivers side belts put in tonight and dad made some more progress on the wiring, I'll get some pics uploaded Sunday night.

As promised, new pics and a video. Looonnng weekend. We worked till around 11 Friday night, 7 Saturday night, and 8 tonight, and finally got to fire it. Still have to wire the alternator, fan, and RacePak, but we're getting really close to laying down some rubber.

Didn't have my good camera with me so I've only got a crappy cell phone vid, it's not quite as loud as it makes it seem. I was pretty surprised at how quiet (relatively) it is inside the car.

Audio level is through the roof on here, so adjust your speakers before you hit play :_paranoid
