Not that much progress for the last 3 weeks as we had to paint a motorcycle (triumph throphy 900) and we some ordered needed parts.

what we did was work on the trailer we bought for towing or speedboat around.



and the turbos got some done on, enlarged the waste gate and some new paint.

Boat turned over, and working on some structural parts.









Next is to cover all the structural parts in glass, put in a new floor and bond it all together.

Don't know the availability of parts where you are at but I had to recently replace a wiring harness on my FD during a rebuild. I got for about $850.00 US. Not too bad considering they list for 1300. Sometimes the extra money is worth all the work you would have to do to figure out the wiring but if you are capable of doing all that stuff, I say more power to you. Looks like a great project!
