right, i've got plenty of things needing to be done but the 2 biggest things (to me anyway) seem to be the coilovers and the wiring loom. i can't really afford to do both at the moment so it's one or the other really.

i keep thinking go for the loom first as i can then build around that and will need it to get the engine running when thats fitted! but a few ppl i've spoken to have said get the coilovers first as then at least the car will sit at a reasonable hight rather than about 1" off the floor as it is at the moment as it has lenths of wood for suspension!

so which would u go for?

p.s. if u say loom then expect plenty more question ;-)

Brake lines Fuel lines then loom all fixed in tunnel.

Get the loom as its cheaper than shocks,gives you more time to save up.

Make some dummy struts to simmulate the shocks,have a look in my photo archive at "rear hubs" pic.

deffo the loom (in only my opinion)...an idea to put the car up on a pair of low-ish trestles too so as you are wiring and connecting at a decent height....saves a lot of backache......

have fun and....as previously mentioned...welcome to the loony bin!

cheers

i'd go for loom, make some shock place-holders out of some square section
