changed our mind with the pedals, decided to use the factory brake pedal and mount the ford clutch and accelerator.

getting there with the pedals, fuel hoses run; just needs a couple of touches and will be ready to try and fire it up!

Thanks Jeroen. It's good as I'll finally be able to move the car about without having a second person around to steer it or drive the tow vehicle!

Still got a lot to do;

Power steering hoses need to be made, also need to sort out radiator hoses etc.

Thanks Jeroen, unfortunately it may still need to be removed/refitted a few times while I'm making a thermofan fit (although I'm going to do my best to make that happen without having to remove it)

Unloading the car from the trailer at the new house. Less room but hopefully that will force me to work neater and be better organised :)

Plus I can see the car from the door of my study now.

That last video I had to play with the EQ a lot in premiere to get it to sound like that, but that's a lot truer to life. The iPhone's audio recording seems to capture plenty of range but it's just a very flat output curve (I assume to aid in audio playback on the iPhone itself) - at least the information is there to play with I guess!
