Quick progress update for those interested......dash 95% finished with centre SAT NAV unit now fitted (for those considering this mod I would recommend you think real hard about it....lot of work and not alot of space....it will get you banghead)...........just got to make up the AC panel/controls.....other than that and a couple of minor mods for the dreaded SVA everything inside is now complete....gonna leave the seats out till the very last moment just in case I'm upside down under the dash againrolleyes

Everything at the front is complete save for final fix of the battery & light covers.....

Engine wise the target is to install this week....reckon a day to final fix the oil cooler and final route main loom then in she goes!! Hopefully be firing her up in the not to distant future!!

Pretty pleased with the overall look though I've already got a 'to do' mod list for next winter!!!

Looking really nice Simon, like the alternative slant on the dash layout, I LIKE individuality yes

Looks good! I love seeing Tango updates. I hope to build the LHD US version of that in the near future (if the stock market recovers and my investments actually return something.... laugh )

Car is looking great and can't wait to watch it finish up! Orange & Black is the only way to go! biggrinsmashthumbup

Hi Kyle - I'm running a rebuilt (Albet Motorsport) G50/52 with standard ratio's.......decided early on in the build to spec the LS7 as I wanted it then get some track miles & data run up before deciding what I should do with the g/box......HTH

J&j - the wheels are Forgeline ZX3R.......they suit the car perfectly - think I may have hit on a nice looking wheel here as I believe a couple of the other guys have now gone with this wheel having seen the Tangobiggrin....if you're looking at choosing some wheels then you should also have a look at LuckyP's Dymags.......another great looking wheel that suits the car......IMHO
