More pics soon, diffs completed, half way through putting winders back in, new carpet arrived ,getting last rub down done over the weekend and I'll put it back on stands.
Decided to keep door original door trims in and have rear seat re bolstered and trimmed to match front seats. I'm thinking at this stage it'll go together pretty quickly. ( at this stage :) )

Decided to run brake lines in stainless. First time trying to do this so was pretty happy with result. THANK GOD for all the reference photos i took before stripping the car! Have put in front end ( the major bits ) and waiting on some powder coating to come back. Realised i couldnt copy standard fuel lines as SR run both feed and return and they wouldnt fit in the standard holders. Fixed this by using pipe clamps on standard mounts. Ill work out where to run rear brke line soon. Got diff back from Maddat, had the lines matched in stainless and charcoal braid.
Got a car cover from work ( indoors only one ) and fits it perfect!

Had to weld section of pedal box into the mAnual box I got out of another 120y manual. Seems there is three different boxes for 120ys, two manual and the auto.
Repainted the lower half of the steering column and put that back after getting steering box back from reconditioning .
Got all the front back from being powder coated along with the gearbox mount. Put swaybar in along with rest of steering arms. Have put on 1600 outer ends on to account for the extra track. The colour coding demon has started, re purchased some bushes that were blue so it didn't look like a rainbow under the bonnet!
Welded fuel cradle ring in doesn't leak from and holes or the ring- bloody leaking out of print seal. Bought a new oem from the start so will have to look at that again soon.
Was happy wrinkle coating the rocker untill a mate reminded me it looked like #OOPS# and twisted my arm untill I ground it off! Bargined with the with tue wife to borrow the oven on tue condition I cleaned it :)
Ordered tomei quad manifold so thAt should be here in two weeks!
Painted dash cowl and started putting dSh back together. Bit unsure about the whole repairing of crash pad thing..... So that'll be put on the later pile aswell. As for gauges, wired up loom and powered them. Previous warning light gauge I made looked out of place so I've re done it so it has a blue outer ring to match the other gauges.
Welded an fittings on all fuel lines including pump cradle. Doing the lines sonar hS been the most annoying job. Triying to get all looking nice seems to be done over and over to get bends neat.
I'm going to wait for new leafs to arrive until putting diff in . Want to get some sort of traction rod happening aswell. Car will be quit low and don't want to run lowering blocks so it may tKe a couple of sets to get height and rate right.
Soon as lines are done I'll be able to put engine and gearbox back in- actually mYbe longer than I think. With engine and trans combo I'm not sure whether I use s15 flywheel bolts or s13 bolt to match the crank. I'm guessing s13 and hoping the new flywheel has no issues bolting up.

Looking awesome now things are getting put together. Tank looks great. Love that dash set up. I may have to look at changing out my gauges as the gauge guys can't get the tacho to read accurately. Will get in touch if I do. EBC worked a treat ;)
Gotta ask what you used on the rocker, when I get time would like to do similar with mine. That looks the goods though! Must be happy with the progress now..
