Re: restore time!! *UPDATE 23/3 nos controller, atb box & dash*
all done! im seriously getting too old for this
im not used to using my brain so much, so was a challenge.
ill be lieing if i said i was very confident when i saw hundreds of wires in front of me then another 12 wires needing connecting up for the controller
anyway was all worth it when i fired it up and everything come to life with no probs, now need to work out how to work the damn thing

Good work mate, dash is "Da s**t!"
I love the state of that gearbox and clutch - Not really a shock though as I've witnessed your love for hard launches first hand at Brunters!
