*Sigh* I just recieved my annual insurance bill today, not happy and was quite unexpected and is going to just about clean out my savings
 . Looks as if the Fairmont is going to be sitting for a little while longer

Wow, progress is looking good! Bummer about the insurance bill, can't you pay it by the month? I'd be just about bankrupt for a whole month if i had to pay mine in one lump sum for the 4 car's on it.
I'm glad Shannons let's me pay by the month!Cheers ToranaGuy

A bit of body colour on the rocker cover will set it off perfectly. Some of that black and red braided hose would also look the goods. Niiiice!!  Daz

Bit of an update, just put the transmission back in this morning and just finishing and tidying a few things up. I decided against putting the fuses and relays inside the fender, just because if anything goes wrong, i don't have to crawl on the ground to try and find if theres a problem with them, which has happened in the past, the ECM relay packed it in
 but i have made all the wiring look tidy and i'll eventually put some kind of heat shield/box in that corner for the air filter, which will cover it all anyway.Left to do (i think): -Trans cooler and hoses -Find suitable heater hoses -Re-fit ECM -Re-fit tailshaft -Flush out sump -Add coolant, power steer and trans fluid -Mount cooler -Have exhaust and cooler piping made -ECM tune -Re-fit bonnet and struts, bumper, inner guards etc -Fit boost controller and gauge -Fit battery and run battery cable -Fit fuel pump and upgrade wiring. ...and that's all i can think of for now, i'm sure there's plenty of other smaller things to do.

Why yes Mr Frank, it does look quite luvverly, i told you i'd give it a good home and thanks again
 Well, here's how i finished up today. Had to 'trim' the bumper ever so slightly to go over the cooler, but otherwise happy with how it sits. I ended up knocking together a couple of temporary cooler mounts, but was so happy with how they turned out and how the cooler sits i decided to keep them.

Looks evil without the lights
Have you still got the intake tube that goes from the airbox to the throttle body?
