Ok, no pics for now, but a quick update to save Ausfree's fingernails

Not long after the last update, it was decided due to time issues (ie. I don't have enough ) to get the last bits done by the pros...

First it went to the exhaust shop where a 2.5" dump-pipe back exhaust & mild steel intake plumbing were fitted...this took 2 months, but I can't complain too loudly as he only charged $650 for the lot There was no room for the HSV muffler I'd picked up, so it is running the straight through muffler off my old laser (I wrote the car off shortly after fitting it) with an almost new HSV cat converter...

It came back just before christmas, but due to work commitments & garage holidays it only went in to have the cooling, pwr steering ect hooked up on Monday, apparently it will be back by the end of the week then it's off to the 'Lecys to get the wiring sorted...Almost there

Will try not to leave you hanging for so long next time promise I'll get some pics before it leaves for the Electricians

Yeah, its a great project isn't it I have been watching it for some time now. A turbo Freelander should blow the socks off a few mug lairs.

Thanks for the continued interest guys Due back from the mechanics next week, a few small issues encountered, but everything that's unexpected adds to the time...

1. Had lost part of the clutch hydraulics while everything was stripped down...DOH! Had to order replacement kit...

2. Custom stainless piping for PS & Cooling needed to be bent, expected this one, but took a while...

3. Freeby doesn't run a fuel return line from it's regulator, mazda does...had to order new fuel line, run it alongside the factory line & tap it in above the sender...

4.Mechanic was sick for a couple of weeks...

Almost there now though
