Hey BF XR, yeah car is slowly getting there. Not much going on as iam saving for a few bits and pieces. Iam in the progess of scoring the wirring harness for the doors and cabin, saving up for the snort supercharger manifold, electric window motors for the back doors, EL rear door trims, EL back seat and parcel shelf, then some extractors. Give us a couple of weeks and hopefully I can purchase this manifold and let yous see how it looks. Cheers guys.

Hey there champ. Iam glad I have inspired you some how. Iam a big e-series fan and would have to be bias and tell you to keep your EL and re-build it. To be honest this project hasnt cost me that much "yet", but it can be a lot cheaper to re-do your car then buying a new xr6T, as long as you do a lot of the labour yourseld. Well hope you mod the cr@p out of your car and all works well. And as for "what will I do when this is finished?" My next project would have to be a NA fairlane with a monster 8 in it or a AU station wagoon with a similar engine, gearbox and charger set up as the EB. Cheers bungy

Hey all and sorry its been a long time since updates. And "jerrytorry" Ill be supercharging the car first, then getting it on the road. After that Ill start looking into turboing it as Iv got 90% of the BA turbo gear here at home. Well Ive finally got the rest of my wirring harness for the dash and cabin late last week. Ill plot along for now and hopefully have a write up for the electrics shortly and the engine running. Thanks all readers.
