important things to buy or not?

Hi all,

Bit of an odd one really but I have an idea as to the order of my build. Im at the stage where suspension built with shocks, rear diff in and drive shafts, brakes on. I have all the brake pipes. I have a 2.0 zetec black top. I have steering column minus cowlings. What I dont have is a lrger list. But before I go listing all the obvious things, my question is, what would people recommend I purchase as the most important parts down to the least, i.e is the wiring harness the next big purchase, and dont worry about wing mirrors yet. I have a budget of about £500 to spend at the mo and want to make sure I buy stuff that I can fit rather than waiting a year to fit. Suggetions please, and remember it just peeps opinions so lets not get funny with each others suggestions..

Thanks

Andy

For starters

Engine in, so that's engine mounts, gear box mount and then you can measure for the prop shaft which is a £100 touch.

Doh too late

Fit the drivetrain and then the loom. Get a scuttle and the gauges. By the time you finish with electrics, you will have raised enough dosh for the next parts
