Got my new seals and got the hubs put together for the final time! So got them refitted to the car, wheel studs in and car back on its wheels. Shafts are spot on, plenty travel left inwards and not too close to the edge of the inner cv's so welded them up (not that i needed too) and will hand them in on friday to agra UNLESS someone can recommend a company?

Not a great deal difference in shaft length!
Now i know its getting closer to a test drive ive started fitting loom and tidying up some engine bits, there is a few parts i need so hope to pick them up whilst im awaiting the driveshafts
Cheers

Cheers mate, and no they will be copied. Ive made these so the length and splines are all correct for the company to work from

Oh right. Just mock-ups cool.
Even more loom removed today lol not much more can be removed from what i can see!
Got the majority of it wired in now, from what i can think theres only the reg plate lighting, front wiper, and horns to do. I also would like to adjust the front section of loom so that it doesnt cross along the front end of the car. Hoping to get away with not extending all the wires but it looks a little close length wise, will find out soon enough!
Taking shape, need some more electrical tape and cable ties and that will tidy it off

@stani1029 Who's making the drive shafts?
Cheers mate, i have kept all of the nats and I have just tonight finished certain sections of the loom. Got the ignition barrel and transponder ring hooked up and i have a solid EML upon ignition so fingers crossed ive got it right! I have thought about removing nats when i send away for nistune but if its working id be aswell keeping it.
Go for it!
Agra engineering in Dundee are making them
No treatment as they said the only set they ever did treat broke
and i cannot remember the type of steel they said they were made out of. I have a terrible memory but plan to ask for reference when im back soon sorting out this engine
Thought i would get the driveshafts put together last night but one of the boots i had was a little too big so will need to source one that will fit a bit better. Also those clamps that need crimped are a pain in the ass!! Basically wasted all the ones i had so will order more along with the proper crimp tool. Took about 20 mins to get the inner joint out the passenger side of the gearbox!! Heres as far as i got with the shafts LOL
Got my bucket seat fitted, only needed minor welding to fit it to the micra rail and ive just fitted a normal seatbelt at the moment.
Spoiler fitted
And lastly was a good few hours with the loom which normally runs along the almera slam panel. Ive rerouted it, pulled wires back and extended a few to get it in this position and im over the moon with how it looks! All wrapped in split pipe and taped up
The green fuse box to the right of the engine bay will be mounted there and the power lead from that will be extended into the car to meet the main battery connection as im mounting the battery below the half dash on top of the exhaust tunnel.
Cheers

Will most likely do that later in the build, got 1m of cable to basically finish off the temp relocation. Would have left it in the bay at the moment if it had fitted lol
