    Started doin some of the fusebox relocating after finally deciding I was gonna put it all under the steering wheel :) took the original mini fuse and relay board bracket out:

    Cut it all up and retacked it so the board sat as high as possible to give room for the other fusebox:

    This is what it ended up lookin like once mounted:

    And this is with other spare one I had from another VT so that I can solder all the orignal wires to one by one:

    Making sure theres enough room with the cover on:

    And now the fun begins haha:

    Also cut out the spare wheel well to make room for the fuel cell :)

    Bought a VZ SS aluminium radiator and twin thermo fans, making a shroud for it at the moment.

    Started to make up the new headlight & indicator loom which is gonna run up behind the drivers side guard into the can to where I relocated the fusebox

    Nutserted the frame in ( ppl reckon I need to weld the frame in, but I think 8 x M6 bolts will be more than enough )

    Hello,
    When doing your vt turbo project you blocked the pvr
    valve, where there any problems with this? Did you for example drill
    a hole in the oil filler cap to vent any pressure to atmosphere?
