O the joy of kitcars this is what happens when you fit the dash then the seats and find you can't see them for the wheel all done can see the speedo now took me a day to make my exhaust and cost me the grand total of about £80 I'm quite pleased with it the only thing is heat wrap stinks when you get it made a couple of covers for the engine mounts a bit of rubber mat and some vinyl make things look a bit tidier

Quick tip for any one trying to bleed rear brakes go to machine mart and buy your self a easy bleeder after 3 days of prating about with the pumping the peddle method it only took me 15 mins with this piece of kit

As a bit of advice, check your brake pipes and feeds to the cylinders from the resovoir. Nothing worse than an easy bleed kit spewing it's fluid after a rupture in that area.
