Fair bit more progress

Hi Guys,
Have been working on the car a lot the last week since i finished my exams, so managed to get pretty much everything done except the last bit of the wiring. Just got to wire up bit about the ignition and the rear wiring. But it drives and looks like a car
Rolling road tomorrow at Atspeed at 8:30, Then the airfield day on Friday!
Here are some pics: Let me know what you think.

The GTS is sure one good looking car, but I'm biased!

You've done a great job Edd look forward to seeing it in the flesh one day.

Did the housings last night. When i perfect them, i can probably get you a set if you want for a small cost.

Hi Guys,
Had a few problems at the rolling road, managed to solve most of them except the throttle. Didn't have enough travel, i could either get min 0, but max 70%-80% ish, or max 100% and min 15% hence idling high.
So came home from the rollers £80 out of pocket. Oh well, yesterday instead of going to the airfield day, i fixed a few suspension problems, set up the steering and camber etc.. and also solved the throttle.
Unfortunately while taking the pedalbox apart, i have managed to mess up the bias bar thread, so a new one will be ordered on monday and replaced.
After thats fitted, i guess its time to head back to the rollers.... Off on holiday from next friday for 2 weeks but when i get back, plan to rolling road and finish the car for IVA.....
Spending most of the time this week on it as well, also managed to finish the rear wiring today, so only a tiny bit more wiring to do.
My list is getting shorter and shorter
