| Picked up the custom fuel tank I was having welded up today.. will allow a lot more distance between fill ups. Now to fit it to the car and align the filler tubes. |

| With the engine and front sub frame in place I was also able to cut out the hole for the shift lever and the mounting bracket holes. Now installed on the car. |

| Engine pretty much plumbed and cables sorted. Just needs heater hoses and the last bit of wiring for the starter solenoid and ignition system. |

| Rubber seals mounted onto the rear hatch lip. Two sizes were used to make sure the rear hatch could close as the top fitting is very tight for room. |
