The Figs engineering rear lower control arms, adjustable toe control arms and solid sway bar links. these feel like a heavy duty bit of kit.
I have also brought what are possibly the ultimate in adjustable rear upper control and traction control arms. these haven't been delivered as yet so i've taken screen shots of them also. pure porn.

And the test fit for the dash mods. I'm pretty happy with them just a couple of tweaks then it will be covered in leather and the refit and wire up can start......hopefully over Xmas......we'll see.
the gauges will sit a little more vertical than they appear in the photo.
No I haven't put the stereo head unit in the dash. It's an OLED single DIN triple gauge measuring OIL pressure and temp and coolant temp. The gauges above it will be from closest to the steering wheel Boost, Fuel pressure, intercooler fluid temp and dual AFR. There will also be a tranny oil temp gauge and fan/pump switch somewhere near where the coin tray and cigarette lighter used to be...
More photos when I find them or once I've made a little more progress.
I have also received a set of vortech htd pulleys that i will adapt for the high boost setting 2" wide. I wasn't happy with the others i had made.(bloody expensive little mistake that one.) and ave decided that when running low boost (probably run in only ha ha) I'll use the serpentine belt

Haven’t posted anything in a while. Have made some progress but like most projects it’s a couple of steps forward change direction continue on.
I’m in the process of changing the ecu to something the locals can tune, (so if anyone is after a wolf v550 & v8 soarer adaptor loom for a really good price, pm me.) I’m installing 8x egt probes, dash is in, solid engine mounts, 240amp alt + more I’ll post a bunch of photos in the next couple of days, once I shrink them.
Biggest decision is try to work out the paint, i’d Like to go 2tone but not sure where to cut in.

Battery mount in the boot. Spare is a front wheel for caliper clearance. Currently working through thoughts on paint. roughed out in a direction but not complete yet

Nice dash work and lots of great bits there mate. It's also great to see someone else using the kitchen sink and breakfast bar as a workshop bench. Love the wheels. What offsets did you go with ? I gather they need the guards rolled ?

thanks Mark, offset is +48 front and back. front and rear guards will be getting some work when the bodykit goes on. pretty sure i was the only person in the house that was happy with the use of the kitchen bench but you get that on the big jobs.

I hadn't read quite a few of the earlier posts, and went back for a look. Its a long and expensive road, mine took years to get where it is, and i think you've spent far more time on finer details than I, and mine was extensive none-the-less. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result.
I guessed about 50 for the offset, but its good to get exacts. They are cracker rims and the right sized rubber for what i'm after. I know there's a few people on here that have pretty big rubber on the rear, but i think they've gone back to 16 inch rims to fit then under the guards without rolling.
I'm fighting the urge for a new paint job due to the amount of money already sunk. Actually paint and rims....both big money pit items.
as a side note, My wife nearly had a heart attack when she saw me baking my 4 pot painted brake upgrade in the new NEFF oven. i sat the whole time with bated breath that both the oven and house didn't stink and stay with us for the next 2 years. All was fine, no smell at all.....very lucky for me that day. I did the touch ups on the breakfast bar on newspaper that was equally life threatening. She was a good sport about it all (no overspray at all).
