eeermmm.... resources?? I used AutoCAD, designed it completely from scratch.

status right now.....
Clutch is working,
Front brakes are done, just waiting on hand-brake cabling for the rears.
Cooling system sealed.
ECU complete and working.
all the Lights done.

the only major thing outstanding is the turbo oil feed.... that damn pipe is gona be a bitch to install..... should have fitted it first.... but clever me....

well you actually don't know..... that is what makes testing sooooo much fun, or not.....

I've followed sound advice from those in the know, and probably from some that is not as much in the know..... On how it should be configured..... So we will have to see on the track what it's going to do....

Videos... you betcha.... lots of vids.....


Here is an update, while I'm at it......
The clocks, wiring almost complete on them......


these smoked Autogauge units are might nice, just a pity they don't make a fuel-level gauge too.... now I have to sit with this ugly duckling in between all this beauty.... :x
