Newold school steel smoothie wheels for the ute. 15x6" on the front and 15x8" with a lot of dish on the rear. Front rotors will be changed the 296x32mm Toyota Soarer to give the 32mm thickness needed for the Corvette C5-6 calipers. Heaps of clearance still so all looks OK.

Wiring finished, with the exception of the fuel pump circuit. I need to get an oil pressure cutoff switch before I can finalise the fuel circuit. All the rest of the circuits are terminated and the main fuse panel refitted. It's a tight fit up behind the glovebox but it all fits. We found a bolt on USB connector so we will also bolt it in to allow her to charge her phone. Refitted the mockup dash to make sure it all fits

Scott, why not utilise an LPG cut-out relay for you fuel pump switching. Easy to wire in, simpler than an oil pressure set-up & when you fit the EFI, a simple substitution. I have them at work, phone me Monday.

If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0

Finished off the wiring and tested everything that can be tested. Seems to be ok. I ran the speedo cable through to the dash also to check there was still room for it. The engineer has been and given the green light to everything so it's now tear down time and off to get the rust removed before putting the whole thing back together hopefully for the final time..

Not a lot done today but it took a long time. No welder gas means all the big jobs are one hold. I cleaned up and cleaned the main exhaust pipes and tailshaft. The extractors and smaller pipes will all fit in the sandblaster so they will get done later. I also mounted the battery trays and filled a few seams under the car.
