Sorry a huge blonde moment there. Today I took out the 3 point harnesses and put in some far superior 4 point Sparco ones...lovely!

How did the led spots work out?? I'm torn between them and an led light bar for the front bumper.

Not wired up yet as it's not that important. So many other things to do on other vehicles first. But she will be finished (yeah right) soon.

Yeah I know what you mean, for every job I finish I find 2 more to takes its place, should call the car hydra! Lol is there anything tricky about wiring them in? Have been looking at the universal wiring kits but they seem to easy!

Ignore what the universal wiring kit tells you it's all wrong...just use a multi meter!

Wheel spacers are on...thought I'd be ok doing it on my own but I have just made my back and knee even worse...idiot.

She's rubbing on full lock so mr angry is coming out to play, and yes wheel arches are going on!

I don't like wheel spacers (more a matter of not trusting them than a real reason) but I like the way those make her look. I say run with 'em!
