jellybaby Posted November 12, 2016 Author Share Posted November 12, 2016 Well I am having a nightmere getting time to finish the little bits which are quite a few and i starting to full out of love for this build. Once litttle bits done I still need front anti roll bar and drop links also full map which looking at least 500! For full map and sort any minor issues out. ATM I have a garage to store it in but movingHome in July to save for a houseEtc so the car will be parked in a residential car park where the other residents can't park for shit also near a primery school and kids play in the car park. I am in to minds to sell I will make aSubstansal loss if sold even braking it i would only get approx 30% bk fromWhat I spent over 4 years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cmoden92 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Be a massive shame to break this or give up on it now. Can imagine it's hard juggling your family and work life around it, but there is not time limit on when it needs to be done, when it's done it's done just be patient man, seems a nice build so far be a totally waste of all that money and 4 years of hard work if you gave up now!! Keep going man look forward to seeing it finished!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jellybaby Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 SoToday I managed to fit my 24mm white line anti roll bar andLinks to theFront. Also got to have fitted my para rod and rarb but the placeI having the alignments done will doThat for me. Once it was fitted I made way toThe back of the car to sort out my rear light issues Currently only my n/s/r work like they should. I have no brake light And only one side light working on the drivers side bulbs are new. The bottom one only works when my fog light switch is on so wiring issue there as it's been hard wired in to the cluster from import .My high level stop don't work so got to power it up with my power probe see if is the unit or more wiring issues. I now getting to the stage to either push my self over the line and send it away to get everything tuning side finished mapping etc. Or give up and sell or break it as it stands Quote Link to post Share on other sites
