Where are the compression struts from? Brett?

Yeah I went down to get the exhaust off him as he's not far from me and saw them on the ground in his shop, so had to have them even though ones bent.

Obviously the passenger side needs straightening.

All in good time.

Aww man. If I knew he had them, I would have grabbed them too. Can the TCA's be used with the stock sway?

I assume they can, but I don't know why you would.

Progress! Well....a little.

So finally felt like doing a bit on the old girl.

All the front short accessories are fitted, alternators not wired yet.

Going to price having a longer high pressure steering hose tomorrow.

Next gotta fire her up and see if the water pump leaks.

Made a bit of progress.

Did the alternator wiring and fitted the radiator.

It now sits about 3" further back.

I have to figure out how to mod the top hose so it goes around the back of the alternator with some clearance.
