lol.........hopefully soon mate. Would love to see your car too in the flesh someday - you have so much dedication for that car.

Once the Ant-Eater is back in my garage I will in fact be doing some more restoration work myself so this project thread is far from finished ;)

They always are ;)

Do wish some of you guys were over here on the West coast, so many top builds happening over East that I'd love to check out in person :(

Nice! Getting done today or this week sometime?

Bumper looks great, I like that you left the inside of the vent dark. Contrasts well.

Getting tuned early this week :)

Yeah, the bumpers is really nice. When I spoke to the workshop they asked if that area (air vent to IC) was to be painted as its textured. I told no as I think that OEM bumpers come like that.

Indeed white and black looks sweet

Ants, glad to see it finally got pieced together and Sean got it. In the coming months I'll have to come past your place for that scotch and a chin wag... when I finish the Stag.

yes it's almost there. You are always welcome at my place sir ;)

Thinking the same for mine and I havent seen a 32 with a black front lip in nearly ever.

I just read this thread start to finish..... I bought the 33 for this purpose... and the rust posts make me cringe

Truly epic and I love the build . Im keen as to wrinkle paint my covers ... hard job ?

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
