A few steps further.
The standard engine loom has been removed and the fuses, relays and ECU moved to the cockpit. A new engine loom will be made that connects to plugs X2 and X3 and also ECU.
I have done this on my other car and it took hours to figure out but makes things nice and simple, does away with loads of surplus wires and connectors and in all makes removing the rear clam and
engine a lot easier.
Suspension components shotblasted ready for some paint.
A new swirl pot made to replace the existing one that was mounted in the boot.
ATB differential shimmed up and fitted.

Engine is back together now with a new trigger wheel. I have also fitted a pro alloy charge cooler but made my own mounting bracket that moves the unit inboard a bit to aid access to the clam fasteners.

I have been looking at the exhaust tonight!!! I'm going to replace the exhaust system with my own and try and fit an additional silencer. I will post some photos as soon as I have made some progress.
