hi pa room was a bit tight , so i made the seat runners learn back wards , so ur not sat with knees cramped under the steering wheel , all seems good/rifgid and comfy at mo ,,

 

[chris285]

really liking the guages

 

[powernut]

then went hunting for some rear brake compansators as i dint have any and hopeing it will bring the brake pedal up ,as the caddy usely has leaf springs with one fitted with a spring

then when i came to fit the dam oil presure switch /grr would fit so modifyed a oil pipe lol

fits now

gauges all fitted and sorted

and alter a heater pipe as it was straight and thought this may keep exhaust heat of the pipe ,,

quick run down
all brakes/wireing/runing gear/steering/welding/done ,,hopefully next couple of weeks , should be mot able .........,
