Got my custom made clutch cable smoothed a bit more of the engine bay slow progress but looking good , also finished up my other 3 hoops of my Rays just the 90 studs and the centers and be putting them back together with new 90 degree valves from ebay,
Anyways pics of the progress not as much as i would like with summer coming fast but been a busy few other weeks with my accord and vti but should be center of attention from now till the summer till its on the road

Bay been smoothed

Image

getting there

Image

Bit better but still a bit to go :(

Image

My ten inch longer clutch cable

Image

Looks as before just longer

Image

The hoops of the ray`s all purple awaiting the studs and centers so can be put back together

Image

Managed to get the Euro r manifold to fit had a bracket in the way when i first tried to fit it which was hitting the sump out with the angle grinder and now fits perfect

Image

Bracket that was hitting the sump now removed

Image

Where bracket was hitting was at the start of the flexi

Image

Box and mani back on ready to drop back in after smooting is done and euro r sir-t sigle belt pulley has been found ,
Next few bits needed will be some tires alt bracket and drive shafts had to put my pit-bull down so that kinda ate the drive shaft money this month so going to finish the body work while i save few quid that again
