When I purchased my car I was not aware it didn't have an ignition key. This was a disappointment as I intented to keep the factory fitted immobilizer, however, when I discovered that most locksmiths are able to supply a key and program it, it wasn't to much of an issue.

Early this week I recieved my key and arranged to get it programed. 

The only unfortunate thing, is the key looks like a Commodore key, not that there is anything wrong with a Commodore, but I would of have preferred my own logo on the key body.

I eagerly watched with great anticipation, as the key was turned on for the first time, seeing the dash light up was an exceptional feeling. To be perfectly honest I was expecting to blow fuses, or worse still seeing smoke.

Today I recivied my custom built aluminum radiator. Unfortunately I will not be ably to work on my car until late June (family commitments).

The instrument cowling and dash are constructed from metal, this is much stronger and heavier than what it needs to be, but I find it much easier working with metal.

 I quickly made myself an english wheel.      

I used it to form the cowling and will need it latter to shape some aluminium panels.

 It looks like a daunting task, too many wires!

I seem to have done ok with the wiring, I will not need the wiring in the box, however I am a bit dubious about cutting them at this stage. I will probably remove them later while the engine is running.
