A whole bundle of goodies arrived today from the grand old US of A, at a VERY damn cheap price courtesy of our rocking $.

In that picture you can see the oil filter relocation parts, the 3 gauges ill be running and the wheel nuts. Bit of a closer view of hte nuts here:

They are a splined drive nut, where each nut is essentially a locknut anyway, which i think is a pretty good idea. Now i just hope that i dont lose the locknut tool 🙂 I think ill order away for a spare too.
Lastly the gratuitious shot of the oil filter bits.

The two relocation parts were quite simply dirt cheap, at $10 and $12 for the spin-on and mount respectively. The adaptor and AN fitting certainly didnt break the bank either, rocking in at $4 and $6 each.
Certainly a whole lot cheaper than the local speed shop who wanted $49, $69, $9 and $16 respectively.
I also have a thermostat for the oil cooler which isnt pictured, and i picked up a 13 row cooler the other day as well.
Other than that ive been busy and away recently, and so i ahvnt done anything much. Did get to work grinding away at the struts tonight though, for about 20mins before i was called away to other things.
Wont get much time to work on it until this weekend, where some things need tidying up on the car… like the door lock which some prick decided to try and jimmy with a screwdriver.
Thankfully ive already rekeyed the guts of the broken lock into a new lock and we should be right to go.
