just got the rear left and the engine bay, also got on with some work on my hubs, they weigh in at about 5.4kgs each, so i reduced this down to a rough 5kg, so thats just under another 1kg off weight gone.

Went to shortys last night with jarrod to pick up my dastek piggy back, the original plan was to run a ms3 standalone, but for what I want. the dastek will do the job for now, I will still be over hauling the loom and taking what I don't need off. Can always update to a standalone once the cars on the road so not to fussed.

Also painted my hubs up, just need to wet and dry the faces then they are ready to go on the car when I get to that point, yesterday my shell was supposed to off been seam welded but unfortunately the welding supplier ran out off gas so this will be happening weekend coming instead now :)
