Sorry about that all. I had one picture yesterday that REFUSED 
to show up. So I removed all sharing and reshared everything. I wont fall for that mistake again as it changed every shared URL for each picture so just spent the last hour going back over every picture to update to new URLs.
Anyway enjoy.

Great tread - frustrated by the picture security though .. Is it road ready yet ?
No not yet. March it will be. I am taking a week off work 23rd of this month to try and get alot of these fiddly jobs done. I will also try and update another post later tonight or this week coming with all the changes that have happened on the tub. done plenty of stuff.Sorry last post honestly.
Something I did completely forget to take pictures of and probably for the best but seems to have worked out well is the windscreen venting. So if you have ever removed the scuttle which holds the bonnet arms and is used to send hot air through the windscreen vents you will know behind this scuttle it is just a mass of empty space except that props up your bonnet when open.
Well I bought seval hoover small brushes like this (but smaller and more on a angle) and fitted one underneath each whole for the windscreen. I then connected all 7 of these to a few pipes and plumbed them to the top of the heater matrix whole.
The result is pretty good. I did a small test once I had refitted the heater matrix and the air that comes out of these is pretty impressive. any one of the 7 will hold a piece of A4 paper up in the air while im holding it. So good result I feel. Shame I didnt take a pic of it all.It did look a little like Frankensteins monster but it gets the job done.

Porsche Riviera Blue?
Yeah Terry knows his colours. Im just in Kendal off the M6 J36. Your welcome to come and have nosey once I have completed it.So I've extra incentive to watch how this turns out. Especially as you are going with spiders too.
This is perfect. You just need to join most of them on the driver's side with a Y piece. If that makes sense.

Quick update plenty has been happening not had the time to update this.
A bit of polishing
I think it's polished up nicely.
NOW FOR THE INTERESTING PART! Lowering of the body. I bet it's never been done like this before but it worked a treat
Me and two mates did it in 40 minutes flat. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves.!
Managed all the boot is recarpetted tank fitted and connected etc
Been making great progress got both front lights in, horns and all the front wiring. Since fitted and plumbed all the water pipes in.
My checklist is reducing at an alarming rate. But still not fast enough.
Did treat the car to some. Leven tech bits
