Those undercarriage panels look nice.

Thanks I’m pretty excited about them.

They’re re from ARP sport (Laile) ordered via Nengun (they actually added to their catalog for me). Had to be custom made so took a month and a half or so to get. Also due to size, shipping was as much as the panels :S but everything arrived in great shape and looks quality!

Seeing the hard line guard it would not be hard to make one yourself if you have some fabrication skill and took your time. Could probation do some thing similar for tank and front panel but they are a little more complex.

Just got back from an India trip mid day Saturday. Was over 20hrs of travel to get home from Pune. I’ll be back to work soon though.

Ok, few updates:
New rear ABS sensors went in.
Last bolts for the parking brake cables went in.
Gas tank installed (hopefully for good)
A couple heatshields in place.

And staged the tank shield so I can get it mounted up.

That's got to feel rewarding. Looks great.

Thanks, Better than it going up it’s going up pretty smoothly so far. At least as far as there’s little in the way left to find as surprises and all the rust has been dealt with so not busting bolts etc. Very cathartic.

Plan is next to swing into AC lines and start working toward getting the front subframe in.
